Conversion of synthetic phase components of rust in aqueous solutions of oak tannin, of phosphoric acid, and of both these substances is described. The main components of atmospheric rust (viz., lepidocrocite, goethite, and magnetite) have been converted. Time of conversion ranged from 1 day to 12 months. The investigations were carried out using infrared spectroscopy.
