Sv. Aleksandrovskii et Vg. Gopienko, LOW-TEMPERATURE INTERACTION OF ALUMINUM POWDERS WITH ATMOSPHERIC OXYGEN, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 66(9), 1993, pp. 1505-1508
Interaction of aluminum powders with atmospheric oxygen was studied us
ing O-18(2) and (H2O)-O-18 in the temperature range 20-400-degrees-C.
At low temperatures, the interaction of aluminum with oxygen begins af
ter an induction period. The activation energies of reactions of powde
red aluminum with oxygen and water vapor have been determined.
