A Study on the Characteristics of Pyrolysis of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide with Addition of Sulfuric Acid

An experiment to examine the characteristics of pyrolysis of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide was conducted in an air-present environment, using TG-DTA. Decomposition starting temperature was decreased as the increase of 98% concentrated H₂SO₄ to the MEKPO and the maximum decomposition temperature of MEKPO was 116.8℃. The activated energy calculated from differential method of pure MEKPO, MEKPO with 1 wt%, 3wt%, and 5wt% of H₂SO₄ were 0.576㎉/mo1, 0.355㎉/㏖, 0.284㎉/㏖ and 0.258㎉/㏖ respectively.
