The anodic dissolution and passivation of vertical porous zinc electrodes that were prepared by pressing zinc powder or amalgamated zinc powder into small disks were studied in 6 M KOH + O-25 M ZnO by measuring potentiostatic current/potential curves at a rate of 1 mV/s and by taking photomicrograph

✦ Synopsis
Zinc dissolution and passivation in either arsenate or borate and a mixture of arsenate-borate solutions at pH 8.9 was studied by polarization curves and cyclic voltammetry. The arsenate anion produces an increase on zinc dissolution . Potential sweep rate, rotation speed, temperature, dissolved oxygen and anion nature determine the current-potential response in the corrosion region of the metal . Thick films are obtained by repeated potentiostatic steps in a still electrode and by a potentiostatic step in a rotating disc electrode . Repassivation phenomena are observed in the current-time response . EDAX analyses indicate the presence of arsenic and sodium in the film .

The electrochemical behaviour of the Cd electrode in O-1-6 N NaOH has been investigated. Both the potentiostatic and galvanostatic techniques were employed. It has been shown that the electrode surface is primarily covered with a porous layer of Cd(OH), which is precipitated from the solution. Above
## Abstract In 0,01–0.3 N NaOH solutions and under galvanostatic and potentiostatic conditions Zn(OH)~2~ is formed and is later transformed in oxide of higher valence state. In solutions above 0.3 N ZnO is precipitated after hydrolysis of Zn(OH)~2~ an this ZnO forms a passivating surface layer. Thi
