✦ Synopsis
The effect of chelating agent on the cathodic reduction of the passive film on iron has been studied. The results from the potentiodynamic polarisation and galvanostatic reduction curves indicated that the contribution of chelating agent was to expedite the reduction of the passive film, and eventually to pick ferrous ion off metal lattice. This effect was greater in a ligand that forms more stable complex with ferrous ion.
The general mechanism for the cathodic reduction of the passive film in the presence of chelating agent was proposed. The process consisted of several steps, and the rate-determining step was the electrochemical reduction of the ferric complex with chelating agent.

The effect of illumination on passivity and the initiation of pitting corrosion on pure iron in borate buffer pH 8.4 is studied.

The kinetics of calcite dissolution in the presence of calcium chelating agents was investigated over the pH range of 3.3-12 using a rotating disk apparatus. The results show that the rate of dissolution is increased significantly by the presence of chelating agents such as CDTA, DTPA, and EDTA. The
