Abstract
Self-corrosion and the anodic behaviour of commercially pure aluminium (Al-2S) have been studied in sodium and potassium hydroxide solutions. The effects of calcium hydroxide and sodium or potassium citrate on the corrosion and anodic behaviour of 2S aluminium have been investigated. It is concluded from this preliminary study that 4 N NaOH and 4 N KOH containing Ca(OH)2 and sodium or potassium citrate respectively in the correct proportions would serve as a suitable electrolyte for a possible aluminium alkaline primary battery.
