Michel, electrolysis is a process. When I said palladium was
electrolyzed, I'm saying that palladium was subjected to the process of
electrolysis. This is a common usage that I don't think is important
enough to debate.

I am not pressing you for an answer Ed, but I Googled for your book soon to be published
you advertised here the other day: "The Science of Low Energy Nuclear Reaction"
and found its home page here:
http://www.worldscibooks.com/physics/6425.html
It says "Pub. date: Scheduled Fall 2007", hopefully it is not too late to
correct it for such errors?
Or have you had it proofread by an electrochemist maybe?
I imagine you hadn't taken such precaution for the paper you submitted last
year to Thermochimica Acta whose terminology of title and abstract we are
discussing (haven't read it further yet BTW, waiting until we agree on the
definition of electrolysis since that's what the paper is about). A pity since
the thermochemists who reviewed that paper probably read no further than the
title and abstract before rejecting it, whereas apart from terminology the
paper may be quite good on the merits!

I'll let you find the error yourself it's quite obvious. Same error in the two
quotes.

The title of your paper:
"Anomalous Heat Produced by Electrolysis of Palladium using a Heavy-Water
Electrolyte"
comprises a surprising confusion in electrochemical terms.
At least I thought it was only in the title until I read the abstract:
"a sample of palladium foil was electrolyzed as the cathode in D2O+LiOD"
Can you see your error Ed? I am just making sure you are like Jed and myself
the humble type who gladly admit their errors and even go out of their way to
do so, as a real scientist should, unlike two other famous CF researchers we
know, who would rather die :)
I don't see what your problem is.
