Butane flash point

The flammabihty characteristics of the butanals are given in Table 7. The flash points for the butanals are well below room temperature. Thus,... [Pg.382]

The biological oxygen demand (BOD) in aqueous streams for both butanals is 1.62 wt/wt for five days (42). The NFPA Hazard classification (42) for both aldehydes are health (blue) 2 flammability (red) 3 and reactivity (yellow) 0. The flammability characteristics of the butanals are given in Table 7. The flash points for the butanals are well below room temperature. Thus, precautions must be taken to avoid heat, sparks, or open flame. ... [Pg.382]

Butadiene (1,3-butadiene, boiling point -4.4°C, density 0.6211, flash point -85°C) is made by steam cracking and by the dehydrogenation of butane or the butenes using an iron oxide (Fe203) catalyst. [Pg.95]

Maleic anhydride (melting point 52.8°C, boiling point 202°C, flash point 110°C), formerly made from benzene, is now made from butane (Figs. 1 and 2) a switch in manufacturing method that was very rapid and complete. [Pg.314]
