Subject: Storage of Peroxide Formers
The general storage protocol for diethyl ether, THF, etc. here in our
department has always been in refrigerators for designed for
flammables. I am trying to educate the faculty about the hazards
associated with the practice of refrigerating peroxide formers. Any
advice about what to say when confronted with, "...but I have always
done this and never had a problem."
Thanks in advance,
Sammye
