Dusts also have upper and lower explosion limits, though the upper limits are hard to measure and of little practical importance. ... n-Butanol: 1.4 [5] 11.2 IC 35 ...
Like other butanols, butan-2-ol has low acute toxicity. The LD 50 is 4400 mg/kg (rat, oral). [6]Several explosions have been reported [7] [8] [9] during the conventional distillation of 2-butanol, apparently due to the buildup of peroxides with the boiling point higher than that of pure alcohol (and therefore concentrating in the still pot during distillation).

BLEVE–fireball, 2008 Toronto propane explosion The following is a list of boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE) accidents. It shows whether the accident occurred during dangerous goods transportation or at a fixed facility, the accident origin (e.g., storage, process reactor, rail tank car, tank truck), the material involved, its amount, the number of fatalities, and whether a ...
A shelter-in-place order within a 1-mile radius of the explosion site was lifted at 4:39 p.m., according to a LENSAlert from Louisville Metro Emergency Services. Officials urged people to stay ...
The stoichiometric concentration of methane in oxygen is therefore 1/(1+2), which is 33 percent. Any stoichiometric mixture of methane and oxygen will lie on the straight line between pure nitrogen (and zero percent methane) and 33 percent methane (and 67 percent oxygen) – this is shown as the red stoichiometric line.
Butanol (also called butyl alcohol) is a four-carbon alcohol with a formula of C 4 H 9 O H, which occurs in five isomeric structures (four structural isomers), from a straight-chain primary alcohol to a branched-chain tertiary alcohol; [1] all are a butyl or isobutyl group linked to a hydroxyl group (sometimes represented as BuOH, sec-BuOH, i-BuOH, and t-BuOH).
Two people died and a third was injured in a house explosion Tuesday in Bethel. Here's what we know and what we don't about the blast. Firefighters were called to Vic Joy Drive just before 9 a.m ...
