Direct Synthesis of Methyl Isobutyl Ketone by Reductive Aldol Condensation. III. Kinetics

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...

Organic Synthesis: Aldol Condensation Reaction

In an "aldol addition" reaction an enol or enolate of an aldehyde or ketone reacts with a second aldehyde or ketone forming a new carbon-carbon bond which makes the aldol reaction an important reaction for organic synthesis. Originally, the aldol reaction used ethanal (see below) and therefore the product contained both an aldehyde and an alcohol functional group; thus it became known as the al...

Biofiltration for the Removal of Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK)

The biological treatment processes found wide applications in wastewater, air & solid waste pollution control. The need for alternate cost effective treatment technologies led to similar biological treatment processes for waste gas streams. One such treatment technology is biofiltration. Biofiltration technology utilizes the microorganisms to biologically degrade Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC...
