AB - Fluctuations in current or potential are generated in electrochemical cells either on a macroscopic or a microscopic scale by a wide variety of processes. For the special case of metal winning, refining or plating these are listed. The listing includes an indication of the observed (or in some cases the expected) time scales of the phenomena. It can be seen that the time scales of many of the phenomena (or the related frequency domains) overlap so that clear cut distinctions are not necessarily possible: at this stage it is usually necessary to identify phenomena with experiments on simple model systems. The application of noise measurements is illustrated using particle/particle collisions in fluidised beds and bubble induced mixing as the main examples. It is shown that the influence of stochastic processes is frequently large so that these effects must be included in the modelling of electrochemical reactors e. g. fluidised beds. In other cases several phenomena contribute to the generation of fluctuations e. g. localised perturbation of boundary layers by bubble growth and detachment accompanied by vortex shedding on bubbles acting as turbulence promoters. The interaction of noise sources is also discussed.
