O Departamento de Engenharia Química convidou o professor Edward Matthijs a vir ao ISEP fazer uma apresentação sobre Métodos Electroquímicos. O seminário decorre na sala H308, no próximo dia 26 de Maio, pelas 9:30.

Edward Matthijs é docente na University College KAHO St. Lieven, em Ghent (Bélgica), tendo concluído o mestrado em Engenharia Química na KAHO, em 1990, e o doutoramento em Química pela Catholique University of Leuven, em 2003. Ao longo da sua carreira tem-se especializado em Electroquímica e está igualmente envolvido em vários projectos de investigação na área de galvanotechnic technologies.

RESUMO
Many developments in modern chemistry rely on electrochemical principles. However, electrochemistry is not the most accessible field in chemistry. This is partly due to the fact that electrochemical reactions occur at a surface. Things can become complicated quite fast. An adsorption or desorption step of reagents or products can be required, the surface can catalyze the reaction, limitations of material transport towards the surface by diffusion, migration or convection or chemical reactions preceding or following the electrode reaction can occur. On the other hand the possibility of an easy control over the reaction rate of the redox reaction is an undeniable advantage. Usually, the mechanisms are too complex and limiting cases are saught for. Some time is required before these approximations can be recognized. The help of an experienced electrochemist might be advisable. The course does not intend to overwhelm the attendants with mathematical theories, typical for fundamental electrochemistry. It is aimed at to give a brief but clear introduction of the different phenomena occuring at the electrode surface.
