Abstract
Pelleted spheres of zinc sulflde were oxidized in an air stream within a temperature range of 560°C-970°C. The reaction rate at zero time where no ash layer builds up was correlated as
ks=3.66×107 exp (-3.48×104/ℜT)
The control regime of the reaction rate was found to be a function of temperature, and the predicted reaction rates were in reasonable agreement with experimental data.
