Abstract
The reaction of nickel with SO2 has been studied. The composition and morphology of the scale formed in sulfur dioxide (1.013×105 Pa) at 600°C and the transport phenomena occurring in the growing scale have been investigated. The experimental methods consisted of metallography, scanning electron microscopy, and electron microprobe analysis. The transport phenomena have been studied by the marker method and with the use of a35S radioisotope. The scale was composed of a NiO and Ni3S2 mixture and grew by the outward diffusion of nickel and inward transport of SO2 molecules through the discontinuities of the scale. It has been shown that outward transport of sulfur originating from grains of sulfide occurs.
