   > I want to dissolve iron scraps electrolytically; that is turn them into Fe++

   terminals?   
      
   It is environmentally very unlucky way to dispose iron and cannot   
    be recommended.   
      
   Btw, it cca 3 400 000 C/kg, i.e. cca 960 Ah/kg, so about 2-3 kWh/kg.   
      
   Considering price of electricity and acid ( almost 2 kg of pure   
    acid per kg of iron )   
   it would be very expensive disposal, aside of the fact you replace   
    one type of waste by much worse waste.
