Influence des conditions de traitement sur la contamination du cuivre, cinétiques et nature des produits formes

Détermination de l'influence des conditions de traitement des échantillons de cuivre (température, temps, concentration en H2S, taux d'humidité, présence de Cu2O en surface) sur les cinétiques de contamination et sur la nature des produits formés. Selon les conditions on observe la formation d'un seul composé Cu2S ou deux composés Cu2S et Cu2O. La cinétique de croissance de la couche de CU2S est en général linéaire au départ puis un amortissement dépendant du taux d'humidité intervient. La présence d'une couche de Cu2O avant sulfuration ralentit les cinétiques sans changer le type de loi.
Abstract
The influence of experimental conditions (temperature, duration, H2S concentration, humidity ratio) on the kinetics of contamination of copper samples and on the nature of the products formed has been determinated.
At 25°C in dry air (|H2S| < 0,5 ppm) and in humid air (|IH2S| < 1 ppm) two compounds Cu2O and Cu2S are formed. Cu2O has been identified by electron diffraction, glow discharge spectroscopy, X.P.S. and electrochemical reduction. In this case, Cu2S crystallizes in a body-centered tetragonal lattice which is not indexed in the A.S.T.M. tables. In others experimental conditions, only orthorhombic Cu2S is formed (chalcocite or djurleite).
Whatever the H2S concentration may be, the rate of growth of the Cu2S layer during the initial linear stage is not influenced by the humidity ratio. The decrease of rate which takes place after this initial stage is more perceptible in dry atmosphere than in humid atmosphere.
Between 25 and 75°C, the temperature has no influence on the kinetics of copper sulphidation in air containing 0,1 ppm of H2S.
If a Cu2O layer has been formed by oxidation of the surface before sulphidation, the kinetic laws of formation of Cu2S are kept up but a decrease of rate is observed.
