> What makes you think it has to be 400 C to start? Nothing would tickle me more to learn that the "initialization" temperature is less than that 400 C. But then, maybe it needs to be greater than 400 C. I dunno! My initial starting point was loosely based on previous literature that I thought seemed to indicate that 400 C was what the starting temperature that needed to be reached before the reaction was initiated. I would be more than happy to revise my guestimate based on more accurate information. > (I have no idea what it needs to be, and as long as the actual mechanism > remains unknown, I think it's anybody's guess.) Indeed. Didn't meant to imply otherwise. But why should that impede a little bit of healthy speculation. ;-) Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
