Study for Manufacturing Methyl Ethyl Ketone from <i>n</i>-Butene by Wacker Process (Part 2)

Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide

Methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone not carcinogenic.

Methyl Ethyl Ketone and Methyl Isobutyl Ketone Not Carcinogenic The April 22, 1993, issue of Environmental Health Perspectives contained a commentary by Legator and Strawn entitled "Public Health Policies Regarding Hazardous Waste Sites and Cigarette Smoking: An Argument by Analogy." Although the article does not include any discussion of either methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or methyl isobutyl keto...

The uptake of methyl vinyl ketone, methacrolein, and 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol onto sulfuric acid solutions.

To investigate the link between molecular structure, reactivity, and partitioning of oxygenated organic compounds in acidic aerosols, the uptake of three compounds found in the atmosphere, methyl vinyl ketone (MVK), methacrolein (MACR), and 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol (MBO), by sulfuric acid solutions has been measured using a rotated wetted-wall reactor (RWW) coupled to a chemical ionization mass s...

Thermal Hazard Analysis of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide

In the past forty years in Japan and Taiwan, many thermal explosions have been caused by methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKPO) under the influence of external fire and others. Thermograms of commercialized MEKPO dimers were first screened by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to determine the heat of decomposition and exothermic onset temperature. Thermal runaway phenomena were then thoroug...

A simple automated system for the routine production of 99mTc by methyl-ethyl-ketone extraction.

A relatively simple, automated system for the rapid, efficient and safe routine production of 9'l"'TcM from "Mo03 by the methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK) extraction technique is described. The 4 phases of the extraction process bubbling of air, phase separation, drawing off of 9'lTc in MEK, and evaporation to dryness, are controlled by an automatic timer, suction-pressure pump and solenoid switches.
