| Abstract | The rate at which chloride ions diffuse from archaeological iron into a treatment solution depends on how the chloride ions are initially distributed in the corrosion layer. This paper compares solutions of the diffusion equation for two limiting cases: (1) where the chloride ions are initially spread uniformly through the corrosion layer; and (2) where the chloride ions are initially concentrated at the interface between the iron and the corrosion layer. Although the first model has been used in the past to describe chloride ions diffusing from marine iron, the second is more appropriate in cases where corrosion has drawn chloride ions toward the iron surface. Because diffusion processes in archaeological iron are complicated, the limitations of both these models are discussed. |
