Perhaps someone with more chemistry knowledge can assess how bad any of the following might be to meteorites: 1. methanol (as Rosie pointed out) -- shouldn't be too bad, given that it's just wood alcohol. 2. ethyl acetate 3. kerosene 4. gasoline 5. benzene 6. methyl isobutyl ketone 7. acetone 8. diethyl phthalate 9. crotonaldehyde 10. brucine sulfate There are others, but these are the most common ones. --Rob ------_=_NextPart_001_01C4089A.112865E4 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1106" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hi All,</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I did a little poking around on line and I was surprised by the variety</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>of denaturing agents that are used to render ethanol undrinkable.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Perhaps someone with more chemistry knowledge can assess how</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>bad any of the following might be to meteorites:</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>1. methanol (as Rosie pointed out) -- shouldn't be too bad, given that it's</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>just wood alcohol.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>2. ethyl acetate</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>3. kerosene</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>4. gasoline</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>5. benzene</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>6. methyl isobutyl ketone</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>7. acetone</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>8. diethyl phthalate</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>9. crotonaldehyde</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>10. brucine sulfate</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>There are others, but these are the most common ones. --Rob</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=556242401-13032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV></BODY></HTML> ------_=_NextPart_001_01C4089A.112865E4-- Received on Fri 12 Mar 2004 08:25:28 PM PST |
