Recent literature concerning the dissolution of iron oxide and removal of iron oxide from metal surfaces is reviewed. Studies of electrochemical phenomena and reaction kinetics are discussed. Rate expressions based on this work are critically examined, and mechanisms for the dissolution of free iron oxide and iron oxide deposited on an iron surface are proposed.
