Long term fundamental tests were carried out concerning the anode behavior of various grades of zinc in the synthetic sea-water at room temperature. The results obtained were as follows:(1) Under an anodic current (1mA/cm2), the anode potential of some grades of zinc became catholic with the lapse of time. While, in the case of special high-grade zinc (approx. 99.99% and 99.995% pure),
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
