De-Rust with vinegar
« on: April 17, 2015, 07:35:38 AM »
Hello , perhaps it is not the right "sub-forum" but i hope moderators will move it

So i found on internet you can remove rust with vinegar , just let ( the rusty iron) in a bottle for a couple of days , if too rusty maybe even more.
But i would like to speed it up a little , the best vinegar has only 5% acid , and in my country it does not sell at shops,

If i remember well , in chemistry class , for any chemical reaction , there was a catalyzator ( or catalyzer ?)

For one thing i know that salt will catalyze electrolysis , is there any hope to make that de-rusting reaction better ?

Better is to use citric acid, maybe the juice of lemons, if the acid is not available. Vinegar essence about 50% acetic acid would also help. Also to heat it up enhance the process.
