Abstract
The dissolution rate of naked Al sheet in the acidic solutions containing polybutadienoic acid (PBA) with pH value of 0.3∼3.0 at 20∼60°C has been determined by electrometry and gravimetry methods. The form of electroactive Al(III) ions occurred on the anode and the behavior of electrocoagulation of PBA have been approached. The results indicate that the superior condition of electrocoagulation of water-soluble nonsaturable low polymer PBA is the adoption of the electroactive Al(III) ions occurred in electrolyte containing 1.0 g·L−1 PBA+0.2 mol·L−1C6H8O7 citric acid with pH value of 3.0 at 30°C. The mechanism of corrosion-inhibited or electrocoagulation resulted from the electroactive Al(III) ions coordinate-COOH group of PBA and free ions of citric groups into the aluminum soaps with bicyclic structure are briefly discussed in this paper.
