Corrosion of Zinc as a Function of pH
Open accessAbstract
Anodic and cathodic polarization of zinc was carried out in 0.1 M sodium chloride (NaCl) solution with pH ranging from 1 to 13. The electrochemical data was then contrast to thermodynamic chemical equilibrium diagrams. The analysis shows that, in general, variations in corrosion of zinc with pH are associated with the cathodic currents. In acidic solutions, the active form of corrosion occurring is controlled by the kinetics of the cathodic reaction (predominantly hydrogen evolution). In the pH range (7 to 10), the lowered cathodic reaction rate reduces overall zinc corrosion rates. The surface oxides thermodynamically predicted to form in this pH (7 to 10) do not form an effective corrosion protection barrier. In alkaline conditions corrosion occurs chiefly by the formation of zinc hydroxide complexes or zinc oxides that could protect the surface depending on local pH and potential at the metal surface. This work expands the knowledge on zinc electrode kinetics over a wide range of pH and augments the existing literature on zinc corrosion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
