By far the most popular commercial ketone peroxide is methyl ethyl ketone peroxide [1338-23-4]. Smaller quantities of ketone peroxides such as methyl isobutyl ketone peroxide [28056-59-9] cyclohexanone peroxide [12262-58-7] and 2,4-pentanedione peroxide [37187-22-7] are used commercially (47). 

Ketones are an important class of industrial chemicals that have found widespread use as solvents and chemical intermediates. Acetone (qv) is the simplest and most important ketone and finds ubiquitous use as a solvent. Higher members of the aUphatic methyl ketone series (eg, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and methyl amyl ketone) are also industrially significant solvents. Cyclohexanone is the most important cycHc ketone and is primarily used in the manufacture of y-caprolactam for nylon-6 (see Cyclohexanoland cyclohexanone). Other ketones find appHcation in fields as diverse as fragrance formulation and metals extraction. Although the industrially important ketones are reviewed herein, the laboratory preparation of ketones is covered elsewhere (1). 

The physical properties of some common ketones are Hsted in Table 1. Ketones are commonly separated by fractional distillation, and vapor—Hquid equihbria and vapor pressure data are readily available for common ketones. A number of other temperature dependent physical properties for acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and diethyl ketone have been pubHshed (3). 

Table 3 shows the toxicological properties of selected ketones. A detailed review of the physiological effects of exposure to methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone has been documented (6). 

Solvent Treatment. Solvent processes can be divided into two main categories, solvent extraction and solvent dewaxing. The solvent used in the extraction processes include propane and cresyHc acid, 2,2 -dichlorodiethyl ether, phenol (qv), furfural, sulfur dioxide, benzene, and nitrobenzene. In the dewaxing process (28), the principal solvents are benzene, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, propane, petroleum naphtha, ethylene dichloride, methylene chloride, sulfur dioxide, and iV-methylpyrroHdinone. 

Solvents used for dewaxing are naphtha, propane, sulfur dioxide, acetone—benzene, trichloroethylene, ethylenedichloride—benzene (Barisol), methyl ethyl ketone—benzene (benzol), methyl -butyl ketone, and methyl / -propyl ketone. Other solvents in commercial use for dewaxing include /V-methylpyrrolidinone, MEK—MIBK (methyl isobutyl ketone), dichloroethane—methylene dichloride, and propfyene—acetone. 

Acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, dimethylformamide, ethyl acetate, and tetrahydrofuran are solvents for vinyhdene chloride polymers used in lacquer coatings methyl ethyl ketone and tetrahydrofuran are most extensively employed. Toluene is used as a diluent for either. Lacquers prepared at 10—20 wt % polymer sohds in a solvent blend of two parts ketone and one part toluene have a viscosity of 20—1000 mPa-s (=cP). Lacquers can be prepared from polymers of very high vinyhdene chloride content in tetrahydrofuran—toluene mixtures and stored at room temperature. Methyl ethyl ketone lacquers must be prepared and maintained at 60—70°C or the lacquer forms a sohd gel. It is critical in the manufacture of polymers for a lacquer apphcation to maintain a fairly narrow compositional distribution in the polymer to achieve good dissolution properties.

Solvents. NBRs are soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones, esters and nitroparaffin compounds. Solvents with high evaporation rate are acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, chloroform and ethyl acetate, among others. Solvents with slow evaporation rate are nitromethane, dichloropentenes, chloro-toluene, butyl acetate and methyl isobutyl ketone. 

The course of the fermentation is tested by removal of samples which are extracted with methyl isobutyl ketone. The extracts are analyzed by thin layer chromatography using a system of benzene/ethyl acetate (4 1). 

To 1,320 parts of methyl isobutyl ketone is added 570 parts of 3-diethylamino-1 -cyclohexyl-1 -phenylpropanol-1 (2 mols) and the mixture is stirred until solution is complete. Then 500 parts (3.2 mols or 60% excess) of ethyl iodide are added. After filtration, the filtrate is diluted with an additional 300 parts of methyl isobutyl ketone and the solution is then heated at the reflux temperature (108°C to 110°C) for 9 hours. After cooling to 0°C, the precipitated solid material is removed by filtration, washed with isopropyl acetate and dried. Approximately 111 parts of product is obtained or a yield of 88.6% based on as-is starting material or 92.5% based on real starting material.

Ketones are characterized by carbonyl groups anywhere in a chain except at the end, and the carbonyl carbon is bonded only to other carbons. Ketones are particularly important as solvents in paints, particularly methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone. Most have a penetrating odor and are highly flammable. 

The above values are applicable only in the limiting case of infinite dilution. The interaction parameter varies with the volume fraction of polymer network as has been demonstrated for the PDMS-benzene system by Flory (47) and PDMS-methyl ethyl ketone, PDMS-methyl isobutyl ketone, PDMS-ethyl-n-butyl ketone, and PDMS-diisobutyl ketone by Shiomi et al. (48). Theoretically calculated and experimentally observed values of X as a function of volume fraction of polymer are given for PDMS in alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, and dimethyl siloxane oligomers by Gottlieb and Herskowitz (49). In the case of PDMS-alkanes, x was practically independent of the volume fraction of polymer.

Dewaxing (Figure 4.17) processes also produce heater stack gas (carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter) as well as hydrocarbon emission such as fugitive propane and fugitive solvents. Steam stripping wastewater (oil and solvents) and solvent recovery wastewater (oil and propane) are also produced. The fugitive solvent emissions may be toxic (toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone).
