[Methyl Ethyl Ketone and Methyl Isobutyl Ketone Not Carcinogenic]: Response

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...

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...

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...
