Dear Friends,
Having obtained a result that did not match the information I was using =
I back tracked and checked my maths. No errors there. So I recalculated =
using a slightly different tack and got the same anomalous result.
Then I back checked the Chemical Equation (CO2<=3D>CO+=BDO2) and =
re-interpreted what was taking place. My new calculated result =
indicates quite clearly that ...(and this is my approximation) ... in an =
electric Kiln a Carbon dioxide atmosphere will change from being inert =
to one which reduces at approximately 1050 deg C.
More to follow relating to Carbon fuel fired Kilns.
