Abstract
Limiting diffusion currents for the anodic dissolution of a tungsten rotating disc electrode in alkaline solution under rectangular current pulses have been determined experimentally. These currents were calculated by use of approaches developed by Ib1, Cheh, and Chin. Experimental and calculated results were compared. It is shown that the use of bipolar voltage pulses enhanced the anodic dissolution of tungsten in alkaline medium.
