Details:

Potassium permanganate is a common strong oxidant, at room temperature for the purple sheet crystals, visible light decomposition, thus a need to keep in a cool dark place, no combustible material and metal powder with the same release.

 

Storage Precautions

Stored in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Away from fire and heat. Library temperature does not exceed 32 ° C, relative humidity less than 80%. Packing seal. Should reductant, reactive metal powders stored separately and avoid mixing reservoir. Storage areas should be equipped with suitable host material spill.

 

Chemical Properties

Potassium permanganate at room temperature with the glycerol and other organic reactions can even burn; Oxidation in a more acidic environment, the negative valence of the oxidation of chlorine, bromine, iodine, sulfur, and sulfur dioxide plasma. Contact with the skin can produce skin corrosion brown stain, a few days does not fade; Powder dispersed in the air, there is a strong irritant, can people even sneezing. Urine, sulfur dioxide, etc. Can make it fade. Metal powder mixed with the more lively after the burning of a strong and dangerous. Decomposition of the substance when heated.

 

Uses:

Potassium Permanganate has lots of applications in light industries, chemical engineering, metallurgy, environmental engineering, agriculture, petroleum industry, defense industry, and aquaculture industry.

 

Potassium Permanganate is an oxidizing agent in the production of preservatives, antiseptics, etc; In pharmaceutical industry it is used in saccharin, vitamins, tubomel (generic name is isoniazid), etc.

 

Potassium Permanganate is a decolourising agent of starch, textiles and fats. It is a toxic gas absorbent; Purification of electrolyte; It has a role in water treatment and soil remediation
