Abstract
For the safe handling of 2-methyl-1-butanol being used in various ways in the chemical industry, the flash point and the autoignition temperature(AIT) of 2-methyl-1-butanol was experimented. And, the lower explosion limit of 2-methyl-1-butanol was calculated by using the lower flash point obtained in the experiment. The flash points of 2-methyl-1-butanol by using the Setaflash and Pensky-Martens closed-cup testers measured $40^{\circ}C$ and $44^{\circ}C$, respectively. The flash points of 2-methyl-1-butanol by using the Tag and Cleveland open cup testers are measured $49^{\circ}C$ and $47^{\circ}C$. The AIT of 2-methyl-1-butanol by ASTM 659E tester was measured as $335^{\circ}C$. The lower explosion limit by the measured flash point $40^{\circ}C$ was calculated as 1.30 Vol.%. It was possible to predict lower explosion limit by using the experimental flash point or flash point in the literature.
화학산업에서 다양하게 사용되고 있는 2-methyl-1-butanol의 안전한 취급을 위해서 인화점과 최소자연발화온도를 측정하였다. 2-methyl-1-butanol의 폭발하한계는 실험에서 얻어진 하부인화점을 이용하여 계산하였다. Setaflash 밀폐식은 $40^{\circ}C$, Pensky-Martens 밀폐식은 $44^{\circ}C$ 그리고 Tag 개방식은 $49^{\circ}C$, Cleveland 개방식에서는 $47^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. ASTM E659 장치에 의한 최소자연발화온도는 $335^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 측정된 하부인화점 $40^{\circ}C$에 의한 폭발하한계는 1.30 Vol.%로 계산되었다. 폭발한계는 측정된 인화점이나 문헌에 제시된 인화점을 이용하여 예측 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
