Anodic Dissolution of Metals—Anomalous Valence

  • Chapter
Advances in Corrosion Science and Technology

Abstract

When metals are dissolved anodically in aqueous and nonaqueous media, the weight of metal dissolved is sometimes greater than that calculated from Faraday’s law assuming normal oxidation states. Among several metals of industrial importance, Al, Be, Cd, Fe, Pb, Mg, Ti, and Zn exhibit this phenomenon. The usual implication is that these metals dissolve as ions with an ionic valence or oxidation number less than normal, e.g., Mg+, Be+, etc.
