Ketones, mainly byproducts from acetone, are separated as low-boiling components in the distillation. High-boiling components, which are mainly formed in the oxidation and cleavage unit, are separated as a residue.
When hotter than acetone's flash point of −20 °C (−4 °F), air mixtures of 2.5‑12.8% acetone (by volume) may explode or cause a flash fire. Vapors can flow along surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back.
