Investigation of the chemical and electrochemical behaviour of mass transfer at an archaeological bronze/soil interface
Abstract
This paper describes a study on the corrosion behaviour of archaeological bronze in simulated groundwater by means of a simulated occluded cell. The study revealed migration, enrichment and deposition patterns of ions in the environment and the cations produced by anodic dissolution during localised corrosion of bronze. The cycle voltametry technique was utilised for the first time on the study of electrochemical behaviour of the bronze/simulated occluded solution interface. The potential and current peaks of oxidationâreduction at the cathode and anode in the occluded solutions at various time intervals facilitated a study of the corrosion products formation processes and their formation speeds.
