IN their investigations of diffusion in copper Mullins and Shewmon 1 and Gjostein 2 have conducted grain boundary grooving experiments and have concluded that surface diffusion was the mechanism of m a s s transport. These conclusions are believed to be in

F o r the approach to e q u i l i b r i u m from h i g h - s u l f u r contents in the s l a g , the sulfur was added in the form of c a l c i u m sulfate or b a r i u m sulfate. At the end of an e x p e r i m e n t the slag was quenched and analyzed. The d u r a t i o n of each e x p e r i m e n t was at l e a s t 20 hr. The r e s u l t s a r e shown in Table II. The r e s u l t s of both s e r i e s of e x p e r i m e n t s indicate that for c o m p a r a b l e b a s i c i t i e s , s l a g s c o n t a i n i n g b a r i u m oxide as the b a s i c oxide c o n s t i t u e n t have b e t t e r d e s u l f u r i z i n g capacity than s l a g s c o n t a i n i n g c a l cium oxide. Boni and Derge 6 have a l r e a d y shown that, under r e d u c i n g conditions, b a r i u m oxide c a u s e s an i n c r e a s e in both the d e s u l f u r i z i n g capacity of slags and in the rate of d e s u l f u r i z a t i o n of i r o n .
