Key parameters determining structure and properties of sulphide films formed on copper corroding in anoxic sulphide solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The corrosion behaviour of copper was studied in anoxic solutions containing different concentrations of sulphide (10–10 mol L) and chloride (0?1–5 mol L) under stagnant and controlled convective conditions. The main determinants of the structure and properties of the copper sulphide (Cu2S) films formed are the rate of sulphide transport to the surface relative to the rate of its interfacial reaction with copper, and competition between sulphide and chloride for surface adsorption sites. When sulphide diffusion is rate limiting, the sulphide film formed is porous and nonprotective, whereas when film growth is not limited by mass transport of sulphide, the sulphide film is compact and protective. The results indicate that, under Swedish repository conditions, the film formed on copper will be porous and non-protective and its growth diffusion controlled.

Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis Deposited Copper Sulphide Thin Films for Solar Cell Applications
Polycrystalline copper sulphide (Cu x S) thin films were grown by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method using aqueous solutions of copper chloride and thiourea without any complexing agent at various substrate temperatures of 240, 280, and 320°C. The films were characterized for their structural, optical, and electrical properties by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ener...
متن کاملCorrosion at Sulphide Inclusions in Stainless Steel
Auger analysis was performed using a high resolution scanning auger electron microscope and auger electron spectroscopy. Elemental auger contour maps for corroded sulphide inclusions in stainless steel were presented. It was found that the copper enriched-manganese sulphide inclusions were uniformly corroded, which might be due to CU2S deposition on the surface of corroding inclusions. In contr...
متن کاملLate Jurassic ocean anoxic event: evidence from voluminous sulphide deposition and preservation in the Panthalassa
The historically productive copper-bearing Besshi-type sulphide deposits in the Japanese accretionary complex were formed as volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits on the deep-sea floor of the Panthalassa Ocean. Here we report that eleven typical Besshi-type deposits yielded Re-Os isochron ages around 150 Ma (148.4 ± 1.4 Ma from the composite isochron) in Late Jurassic time. This date coincides...
متن کاملSemiconducting properties of passive films formed on AISI 420 stainless steel in nitric acid solutions
This study focuses on the semiconductor properties of passive films formed on AISI 420 stainless steel immersed in four nitric acid solutions under open circuit potential (OCP) conditions. For this purpose, the passivation parameters and semiconductor properties of passive films were derived from potentiodynamic polarization and Mott–Schottky analysis, respectively. The OCP plots showed that th...
