Question

How Long Does Electrolysis Rust Removal Take?

Answer 1

The time taken for electrolysis rust removal:

• In electrolysis, a small amount of current is passed through the rusted metal so that it can induce an ion exchange.
• The portion from where, we have to remove rust is emerged in the solution of water and washing soda. The positive is sacrificial electrode which can be piece of iron.
• This procedure takes an hour to two days for completion. The time taken depend upon the size of corroded ion and the quantity of rust.
