Conductance of Picric Acid and Diisopropylamine in Isopropanol, Methyl Ethyl Ketone, and in an Isopropanol-Ketone Mixture.

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...

Electrochemical Behaviour of Nifedipine and Nitrendipine in Chloroform and Chloroform-Isopropanol Mixture

The electrochemical behavior of nifedipine (I), nitrendipine(II) and their photodegradation products has been studied by employing electrochemical techniques in chloroform and in 1:4 mixture of chloroform-isopropanol using piperidinium perchlorate (PPC) as supporting electrolyte. It has been shown that I and II undergo in a 4e, 4H+ irreversible reduction reaction, while the reduc...

Biological monitoring of petrochemical industry workers exposed to benzene, toluene, xylenes, methyl ethyl ketone, and phenol in Southern Iran

Background: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including carcinogens and toxic compounds, are produced in petrochemical industries. We undertook this study in order to study workers’ respiratory exposure to different VOC concentrations and compare the results with the urinary levels of its metabolites and study the correlation between them in petrochemical industries. Materials and Met...

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...
