Abatement of Benzyl Alcohol and Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) from Polluted Air Over Nanostructured Mn -Supported Alumina Catalyst

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...

Statistical modelling and analysis of the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol over K-Mn/C catalysts

We report the application of statistical multivariate analysis to optimize the process parameters (including temperature, O2 pressure, concentration of benzyl alcohol, Mn content, and K:Mn molar ratio) in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol using molecular oxygen over K-Mn/C catalysts. This multi-regression model, based on 38 experimental runs, shows reasonably accurate prediction on the benzyl alc...

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...

Testing the single-pass VOC removal efficiency of an active green wall using methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)

In recent years, research into the efficacy of indoor air biofiltration mechanisms, notably living green walls, has become more prevalent. Whilst green walls are often utilised within the built environment for their biophilic effects, there is little evidence demonstrating the efficacy of active green wall biofiltration for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at concentrations foun...
