Summary A pseudo-isothermal method for the kinetic analysis was applied to the recrystallisation of a to ß nickel sulphide based on the Ozawa model for non-isothermal crystallisation in the presence of pre-existing nuclei. The aim of the analysis was to determine the number of steps involved in the recrystallisation and, hence, determine the applicability of the kinetic equation based on a single step mechanism, as is commonly applied in the kinetic analysis of solid-state processes using thermal methods. The kinetic analysis yielded evidence of at least two processes indicating that physical and mechanistic significance should not be drawn from the use of a single step approximation of the rate equation.
