Corrosion of metallic iron from reduced ilmenite

Summary

A mechanistic study of the aeration reaction used for removing iron from a reduced ilmenite matrix to produce synthetic rutile is described employing two techniques, one based on the measurement of mixed potentials, and the other on measurement of the aeration rate to determine the role of the ammonium chloride electrolyte.
