Preface

The book "Redox" provides vast insight into the oxidation-reduction reactions to its readers. The book will help the reader to understand the role of redox potential in reactions; applications of redox reactions in energy production and coordination chemistry, synthesis of polymers, degradation processes of toxic compounds in water treatment, and the impact of its balance in fish welfare. The book consists of three sections that include redox in the coordination compounds, organic compounds and polymerization; redox in electrochemistry; and redox and fish welfare. The first section consists of three chapters that describe the role of redox reactions in several fields such as transition metal chemistry, degradation processes of toxic compounds and dyes in treatment of water and wastewater, the catalysis of oxidation of organic compounds by metal active sites and synthesis of copolymers. The role of redox reactions and reactivity description of compounds are discussed in the second section of the book. This section consists of two chapters. The non-aqueous redox flow batteries have been described in this section. The third section extensively discusses the redox balance and fish welfare and consists of one chapter. The book provides a good contribution to understand redox chemistry and its applications in a variety of processes of chemical, industrial, and environmental concerns. The editor acknowledges the efforts and hard work of all the authors and their co-authors for their worthy contributions. The editor also acknowledges the help and patience of the author service manager, Ms. Romina Skomersic for her guidance and assistance. This book will hopefully be a significant contribution on the topic of "Redox".
