Abstract
Isothermalin situ reduction kinetic study of NiCl2-containing gel was carried out. The detailed statistical as well as reduced time analysis show that contracting geometry and nucleation and growth type of mixed mechanisms are operative. The activation energy for reduction is in the range 158–193 kJ/mol. Thermal analysis on NiCl2-containing gel was carried out in the temperature range 800°C to 900°C.
