Remove perryite, which is (Ni,Fe)8(Si,P)3 (which has literally nothing to do with ferrosilicon). Make the table vertical and sortable so it isn't horrible to read and has more utility, and cvt temperature units inline. Remove comment about intentional link to disambig page that was clearly intentionally linked to because they used the full title to do so, and because comments are awful outside of programming (if they were "hide this" flags there they'd be terrible there too.)

/* Hydrogen production */ Fix a ref and the overall reaction (the previous given reaction was only at the very beginning; sodium silicate in solution hydrolyzes to sodium hydroxide and silicic acid) and change the ref on equation to the report that uses the correct one and add a bit more explanation. Remove the large commented out part with no ref because that's sorta why page history exists.
