High solubility of AlI3 in water is benefited to activate Al surface. It is found that the production of hydrogen becomes significant above 60℃ and obeys a logarithm rule. The pH value which is determined mainly by the kinetics of hydration spontaneously. varies from 5 to 3 then back to 4.5 during the reaction, reaction of AlI3 and the reaction of Al and HI produced展开更多
