An experiment to examine the characteristics of pyrolysis of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide was conducted in an air-present environment, using TG-DTA. Decomposition starting temperature was decreased as the increase of 98% concentrated H₂SO₄ to the MEKPO and the maximum decomposition temperature of MEKPO was 116.8℃. The activated energy calculated from differential method of pure MEKPO, MEKPO with 1 wt%, 3wt%, and 5wt% of H₂SO₄ were 0.576㎉/mo1, 0.355㎉/㏖, 0.284㎉/㏖ and 0.258㎉/㏖ respectively.
