The anodic dissolution of cadmium in aqueous solution

Abstract

"The increasing importance of prevention of corrosion in industry has stimulated extensive studies on the fundamental behavior of metals in corrosive media.

The basic mechanism of the anodic dissolution of metals such as cadmium, magnesium, and zinc in salt solutions is not completely known. Several mechanisms have been proposed by different investigators, but evidence is still lacking to draw unquestionable conclusions to explain the discrepancies which often arise between coulometric data and weight loss of metal electrodes in certain salt solutions.

The purpose of this investigation was to obtain experimental data for anodic dissolution of cadmium in various electrolytes and to arrive at a mechanism consistent with the results"--Introduction, page 1.
