Methyl ethyl ketone appears as colourless fairly volatile liquid with a pleasant pungent odour. It is naturally produced by some trees, bacteria & seaweeds. MEK is an organic compound produced from the dehydration of secondary butanol. It is used as a solvent, for making other chemicals, and for production of wax from petroleum. Numerous end-users prefer methyl ethyl ketone as an effective solution for different pharmaceutical and chemical applications. Methyl ethyl ketone is manufactured commonly by the dehydrogenation of 2-Butanol, catalysed by Copper, Zinc, or Bronze. Another method for MEK production is via direct oxidation of n-butane using Palladium or Cupric Chlorides as catalysts. Moreover, methyl ethyl ketone can also be isolated in the manufacturing process of butane-based acetic acid as a by-product.
