Abstract
The maximum principle was used to find the control optimal policy in a batch electrochemical reactor where a simple cathodic reaction A↔B or a series of cathodic reactions A↔B↔C takes place. In the first case the optimal current required to reduce the concentration of A from C0 to CF in a given time tF, while minimizing the overall consumption of electrical energy and while imposing a 100% electrical yield at all times is determined for different values of electrical resistance of the solution. In the last case, the optimal electrode potential, which maximizes the final concentration of the intermediate product B in a given time tF, is determined for different values of liquid/solid mass transfer coefficient of the desired product B.
