The volume of literature concerning the problem of sulfidation of metals is enormous. Studies based on thermochemical considerations, kinetics, mechanistic aspects, and empirical evaluations have contributed to a better understanding of the problem. An excellent review of the state of the art circa 1970 is found in the book1  edited by Z. A. Foroulis. Since then considerable emphasis has been on sulfidation by H2S in coal gasification. Research and progress in this area can be monitored by reviewing the results of work sponsored by the Department of Energy as published in the yearly reports2  from the joint meetings of Department of Energy, Electric Power Research Institute, American Gas Association, and National Bureau of Standards. The Department of Energy also publishes a newsletter which distributes current information pertinent to development of fossil-fuel systems.3
