Abstract

Oxidation of zinc sulphide pellets is carried out in the ranges of 600-826°C temperature, 0.3-0.5 porosity and 15-50 minutes of reaction time. An experimental technique is employed to simultaneously determine the rate of weight loss of the solid and conversions of the solid reactant at various levels in the pellet for different reaction times. A structural model is used to explain the experimental results. It is found that the model predicts both the experimental results obtained under various conditions reasonably well.
