Hazard Predictions

The reaction between acetone and activated carbon is exothermic and can start fires (Boiston, D.A. 1968. British Chemical Engineering 13:85).

Acetone can be reduced to flammable propane gas (Howard, W.L. 2001. Acetone. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).

Acetone, acetophenone, cyclohexanone, and methyl ethyl ketone are considered incompatible with strong reductants (Lenga, R.E., ed. 1988. Sigma Aldrich Library of Chemical Safety Data, 2nd Edition. Sigma Aldrich. pp. 20, 24, 605, 965).
