Abstract
The cracking of hematite crystals during their low-temperature reduction to magnetite raises the question of the analysis of sigmoidal kinetic curves after an induction period which may be prolonged.
We have recorded such curves with CO/CO2 = from 350 to 600 °C, and used different models: - the classical Shrinking Core Model which should apply only at 600 ° C and not below, - the Crackling Core Model, except for at the beginning of reaction.
Surprisingly these models each yield values for the rate constant and its activation energy which are in reasonable agreement.
