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 when mixed with reducing agents (Howard, W.L. 2001. Acetone. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).
