This volume represents the proceedings of the International Symposium on Electrochemistry in Industry - New Directions, held at Case Institute of Technology of Case Western Reserve University on October 20-22, 1980. This symposium was one of a number held at Case Institute during the 1980 calendar year as part of its centennial celebration. The following faculty members from Case Institute of Technol­ ogy constituted the organizing committee for the symposium: Uziel Landau, Chairman Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering Robert Hehemann Professor of Metallurgy C.
