Evaluation study on gas-phase passivation inhibiting the spontaneous combustion tendency of ferrous sulfide compounds by Yuanyuan Zhang, HaSung Kong, Ruixuan Hao, Qin Xu, Long Zhao

“…The results show that the entropy-weight method assigns dominant weights to the duration temperature in the room-temperature spontaneous combustion stage (ΔT1, 10.2%) and the activation energy in the high-temperature combustion stage (E3, 9.3%), indicating that the thermodynamic suppression effect, driven by the passivation mechanism, plays a more significant role than the changes in the microstructure. TOPSIS analysis reveals that the FeS sample passivated for 8 h with a 9% passivator concentration has the lowest spontaneous combustion tendency (composite score of 0.743), while the highest risk is associated with the sample passivated for 2 h with a 3% concentration (composite score of 0.341). …”
