Abstract
In the absence of zincate, silicate ion was found to have favourable effects on the corrosion rate of zinc powder in alkaline solution, as expressed by its gassing rate and polarization curve. The addition of zincate lessened the effect of silicate. Glass corrosion and silicate-zincate interaction in alkaline solution are also emphasized.
