L. Takacs et Ma. Susol, GRADUAL AND COMBUSTIVE MECHANOCHEMICAL REACTIONS IN THE SN-ZN-S SYSTEM, Journal of solid state chemistry, 121(2), 1996, pp. 394-399
The mechanochemical formation of ZnS from a mixture of Zn and S powder
s turns into a self-propagating thermal reaction after 30 min of milli
ng. A similar ''explosion'' occurs when Sn and S are milled for about
the same time to form SnS2. However, the ignition time is longer or th
e reaction is gradual in mixtures of the two systems. This phenomenon
is investigated as a function of composition. A model is proposed base
d on the thermodynamic properties and mechanochemical reactions of the
binary systems. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
