As a preliminary stage in the study of the active~passive transition on zinc in concentrated (6.8 mol dm-3) solutions of KOH the reported mechanisms have been reviewed and the characteristics of active dissolution prior to passivation have been investigated. The theory of Armstrong and Bulman has be

## Abstract The electrochemical behaviour of zinc in NaOH solutions has been investigated by using potentiodynamic technique and complemented by Xβray analysis. The E/i curves exhibit active, passive and transpassive regions prior to oxygen evolution. The active region displays two anodic peaks. Th
## Al&met-Potentiodynamic experiments in the range 600-06 mV/s, designed to elucidate the processes by which the zinc electrode in alkali becomes passive, are described. At low overpotentials the dissolution process is a complex solution mechanism in which soluble zincate species leave the electro
The cathodic reduction of oxygen in concentrated potassium hydroxide (15 wt-% H,O) at 225Β°C is greatly at%cted by the presence of dissolved nickel. This effect shows up both in concentration and activation polarizations. These observations, together with indication8 for the presence of nickel redox
Considerable work on the anodic polarization of cadmium by potentiostatic and galvanostatic techniques has been reported in the literature. Th.e effect of ac superimposed on dc in such a study has now been carried out. The results show that ac superimposition lowers the passivation time as well as t
The anodic behaviour of zinc in aqueous potassium hydroxide has been investigated at very high cds (l-i0 A/cm% Galvanostatic experiments have been made in aqueous KOH (l-12.8 M) for reaction times O-1 s-O.2 ms. The relationship between the cd and the passivation time follows a l/t relationship. The
