Wall board is not even the main source of sulfur-sulfuric acid, the High sulfur Diesel fuel and other items in the building contain it in much larger quantities.

I don't think so, Crazy. At 19% sulfur content in the wallboard, by my calculation the towers alone contained 11.7 million pounds of sulfur.

ETA: Don't quote me on that. I'll have to look into it some more. That would mean there was about 250,000 lbs of wallboard on each floor (including basements, triple-layer in core, etc.), and that sounds high.

Please, this is really a sore spot with me, because I really thought the article said a whole bunch of stuff, and now it's totally different. Hmmmmmmm.

Yet, it doesn't seem to bother you that Steven Jones has changed his so-called "scholarly" paper repeatedly without making any notation of the changes.

Hmmmmmmmm.

Is that the diesel from the tanks in WTC 7 you're referring to?

Speaking of which, has Jones ever specified which building his test sample is supposed to have come from, or does he still only specify that he got it from a peice of metal on a 9/11 memorial?

I think CC means "higher concentrations." The sulphur in wallboard is in a pretty inert form compared to the sulphur in diesel fuel, as anor277 explained above. In this respect, he is correct.

ETA: Good link, CC! Several interesting points. From the presentation by the DELTA group, page 18:

Why was the debris pile so hot, so long?

Energy (est.) (in units of 10¹¹ joules)

Kinetic energy of falling building.....................5 (+2.5 ^oC)
Chemical energy of cars in garage.................10
Chemical energy of diesel / Con Ed oil............150
Chemical energy of building combustibles........430
Perhaps 15% burned before the buildings collapsed

I hadn't seen a breakdown of chemical vs. gravitational energy before. That is vast.

I think we're going to have to upgrade the amount of "Explosives" needed.

Exactly what I was referring too, you should see the reaction of heated steel, sulfur, and carbon. The sulfur and carbon come from the Diesel fuel, carbon is what is used to change Iron Oxide into Iron, in Iron ore refinement. Steel burns at 1375C producing more heat sulfur increases the process. Sulfur when exposed to moisture, produces sulfuric acid.
I live on a farm I have had sulfur burns to my lungs from burning Farm diesel when a tractor caught fire and I was putting it out.
There is the potential for several complicated chemical reactions, weakening the structure of Building 7 especially since the more heat the faster the Chemical reactions occur.
If you can remove the oxide layer the steel will rust in air to some extent producing heat. Sulfuric acid will do that, Carbon reacts like Aluminum with Iron Oxide, to produce Carbon dioxide.
You can have a self sustaining reaction if the conditions are right, that is what I have been exploring, for the stuff falling from the towers.

I have been looking into a self sustaining chemical reaction of Steel, Aluminum, Carbon, and Oxygen. Adding wall board to the compound makes it even hotter, to hot in fact. This stuff is hard and I have limited resources, but I am finding stuff, interesting stuff out.
I just try as best I can to stick to the Scientific Method, I know that is crazy when dealing with this CTer stuff, but it is just me.
