✦ Synopsis


Steady state potentiostatic experiments on a galena rotating-disc electrode in perchlorate solutions of varying pH values indicated that the primary reaction governing the anodic dissolution is PbS + Pbz + + S + 2e. A mechanism involving a sulphur intermediate is proposed for this process. Cyclicvoltammetric studies with the use of rotating ring-disc electrodes in perchlorate and sulphate solutions revealed that the pH value at the electrode surface has a marked elkt on the anodic dissolution. The morphology of the anodically produced sulphur has a bearing on the active-passive behaviour oCgalcna. The smxies responsible for the uassivation of the aalena surface in sutphate and perchlorare solutions are shown to be the basic lead sulphates.

The influence of Sn on the formation of the corrosion layer on Pb has been studied with a Pb-lO%Sn electrode in 0.5 and 4.5 M sulphuric acid using voltammetry, rrde and potential decay measurements, as well as photoelectrochemistry and ac impedance. The results obtained support the conclusion that i
