The thermal stability of pentlandite was studied by quenching, differential thermal analysis, and high-temperature X-ray diffraction experiments. Rigid silica tubes were employed as reaction vessels, and vapor, therefore, is an inherent phase in all 3 types of experiments. Synthetic pentlandite of Fe (sub 4.5) Ni (sub 4.5) S 8 composition to decompose at 610 degrees + or - 2 degrees C. to (Fe, Ni) (sub 1-x) S with hexagonal pyrrhotite structure and to a high-temperature nonquenchable phase… CONTINUE READING
