Abstract

Phase equilibria in the copper-cobalt-sulfur system have been determined by means of silica tube techniques between 400° and 900°C. Throughout this interval the Cu2-xS solid solution containing up to 11 wt % Co, coexists with cobalt sulfides (CoS2, Co3S4, Co1-xS, Co9S8, Co4S3). Co3S4 accepts up to 20.5 wt % copper and CoS2 up to 12 wt % copper into solid solution. The increase in unit cell dimensions of Co3S4 and CoS2 when copper substitutes for cobalt has also been determined.
