thermolysis, usually associated with exposure to a high temperature.
Notes: - The term generally refers to reaction in an @I03026@ environment.
- Pyrolysis is the commonly used term for a high-temperature treatment that converts a @CT07541@ to a @CT07540@.
- Modified from previous definition. The definition proposed here is more explicit about the elevated temperatures involved.
