Talk:Pyrophoricity

[edit] Stuff

I added the list, because it seemed to me that people looking for this item would want at least some reference to the possible materials. 1diot 21:44, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm wondering about the mention of methanetellurol on here -- I can't find any outside reference to it. Is there anything out there? If there are no objections, I think it should be moved to the list instead of being in the body of the article. And what are the most common pyrophoric materials? I think that should be in the body of the article. 1diot 17:08, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I put the link back in as reference, since someone might be wondering where that specific list of materials came from. If there is a better, more-informative, concise, accesible list out there, please feel free to edit. --1diot 22:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How to?

That tedious description about how to use a syringe is a "how to". Wikipedia is not a "how to" and, despite its possible usefulness, the paragraph should be removed. --69.236.33.219 05:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the how-to stuff while retaining the factual kernel of the paragraph. —Eric S. Smith 17:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure about your use of autoignition temp. In pyrophoricity, oxidation occurs at a fast trate and H2 gas is normally evolved. The heat from the exothermic reaction ignites the H2. ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldmclouth (talk • contribs) 21:51, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
