10.2 Chemical stabilityLow volatility
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactionsA flammable liquid when exposed to heat or flame ...N-AMYL METHYL KETONE reacts exothermically with many acids and bases to produce flammable gases (e.g., H2). The heat may be sufficient to start a fire in the unreacted portion. Reacts with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable gas and heat. Incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides. Incompatible with many oxidizing agents including nitric acid, nitric acid/hydrogen peroxide mixture, and perchloric acid. May form peroxides (USCG, 1999).

AEROBIC: 2-Heptanone was found to undergo aerobic oxidation after a short lag period when inoculated with an unactivated sewage sludge seed(1). 2-Heptanone had a theoretical biological oxygen demand (BOD) of 1.4%, 2.4% and 4.8% after 6, 12 and 24 hr, respectively, when incubated with an activated sludge seed at an initial concentration of 500 ppm(2). 2-Heptanone underwent a 5 day theoretical BOD of 44%(3). In a screening study using a sewage seed, 2-heptanone had a 10 day BOD of 0.50 g/g(4). 2-Heptanone was qualitatively described as degrading in the presence of a sewage sludge seed(5). Organisms isolated from soil and raised on C1-C8 straight chain paraffins were found to oxidize 2-heptanone(6).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potentialAn estimated BCF of 7 was calculated for 2-heptanone(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.98(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soilThe Koc of 2-heptonone is estimated as 280(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.98(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-heptanone is expected to have moderate mobility in soil.

13.Disposal considerations 13.1 Disposal methods ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packagingContainers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
