The anodic dissolution of pure iron in acetonitrile-water solutions with varying concentrations of acetonitrile and varying pH has been investigated. Potentiodynamic measurements with different sweep rates have been done. Acetonitrile was shown to act as an interface inhibitor for the dissolution of

✦ Synopsis
Iron microelectrodes have been used to study the dissolution kinetics in acidic perchlorate solutions, in the absence and in the presence of acetonitrile. The results compare well with previous measurements on a conventional sized rotating disc electrode. The advantages of using microelectrodes are apparent at high current densities, where more detailed information is obtained. The negligible ohmic drop at microelectrodes facilitate the study of the pre-passive region. Acetonitrile was found to inhibit the active dissolution of iron, but does not participate in the passivation reaction.

In the presence as well as in the absence ofacetonitrile the hydrogen evolution reaction was found to follow a Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism with a minor contribution from the Tafel reaction in parallel. Contribution from surface diffusion between equally spaced step lines were found in both cases. The
Active anodic dissolution of chromium in acidic sulphate solutions was investigated by using the rotating ring-disc electrode (n-de). Chromous ions dissolved from the chromium disc could be collected on the gold ring electrode by oxidation to chromic state. The empirical collection number was estima
