Abstract

A broad overview of research on the effects of imposed magnetic fields on electrolytic processes is given. As well as modelling of mass transfer in magnetoelectrolytic cells, the effect of magnetic fields on reaction kinetics is discussed. Interactions of an imposed magnetic field with cathodic crystallization and anodic dissolution behaviour of metals are also treated. These topics are described from a practical point of view.
