Abstract
An SHS process was used to prepare ZnS monoliths which were then converted into ZnO ones by thermal treatment in air. Zinc and sulfur powders were mixed, pressed into pellets, and ignited in a conventional SHS reactor under argon atmosphere. Both the combustion temperature and product properties were found to depend on the compaction pressure and Ar pressure in the reactor.
