Abstract — The effects of benzoimidazole and a borate buffer on the anodic dissolution of iron in a sodium sulfate electrolyte were compared under different conditions of voltammetric experiment (forward and reverse scans and cyclic voltammograms). The rotational speed, the electrode arrangement in a cell, pH, the concentrations of additives, and the temperature were also varied. In the presence of benzoimidazole, the active-passive transition peak at more negative potentials disappeared from the anodic voltammograms under certain experimental conditions, in contrast to electrolytes with a borate buffer. Anodic passivation in the presence of benzoimidazole was impeded compared to a borate buffer.
