The Anodic Dissolution of Cadmium

Abstract
The anodic dissolution of cadmium has been studied in aqueous solutions containing Cl, Br, I, Ac, , and ions. The normal valence (+2) was found in all solutions with the exception of . The apparent valence (calculated) of cadmium ions in nitrate solutions varied from 1.2 to 2.0 and was found to be a function of concentration, current density, and temperature. An anodic dissolution mechanism has been proposed involving local corrosion and disintegration of the anode which is consistent with the experimental results.
