Potassium Monopersulfate Compound
Potassium monopersulfate compound (Synonyms: potassium peroxymonosulfate)
is a free-flowing, white granular solid, soluble in water. It is present
as a component of a triple salt including potassium monopersulfate, potassium
bisulfateand potassium sulfate with the formula 2KHSO5·KHSO4·K2SO4. The
oxidation potential of this compound is derived from its peracid chemistry.
The compound provides powerful non-chlorine oxidation for a wide variety of industrial and consumer uses. It’s applications may be found in oral hygiene formulations, pool and spa shock and disinfections, paper recycling, printed circuit board etching, wool shrink proofing, laundry bleaches, precious metal extraction process. The compound is an important auxiliary agent in organic synthesis for oxidizing plenty of organics and functioning as the epoxy oxidizer of the twin bonds of organic chemicals. It’s also a free radicle introductory agent in many polymeric reactions. Potassium peroxymonosulfate can be used to oxidize hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and other reduced sulfur compounds, such as mercaptans, sulfides, disulfides, and sulfites in waste water treatment. It’s also an oxygen releasing agent in aquiculture and low temperature bleaching agent in detergent formulations.
- Swimming Pool Shock and Spa
- Maximum disinfection efficiency caused by oxidizing properties,
- Restores water cleanliness and transparency,
- Suitable for all types of swimming pools, spas, bathtubs,
- Significantly improves chlorination efficiency through quick oxidization of organic contaminants,
- Very quick action – facility is ready to use after 15 minutes,
- Harmless to swimming pool surfaces, causes no bleaching or discolouration of painted and vinyl-coated surfaces,
- No irritating odour, does not cause allergy as it contains no chloride, aldehydes, alcohol,
- Has no impact on water hardness.
- Microetching and cleaning of printed wiring/circuit board (PWB) For PWB industry, microetch solutions used to remove excess graphite and/or carbon black may be based on hydrogen peroxide or sodium persulfate as the oxidizing agent. For example, a sodium persulfate-based product may be combined with sufficient sulfuric acid to make a microetch bath containing 100 300 grams of sodium persulfate per liter of deionized water and about 1 to 10% by weight sulfuric acid. but nowadays, technical people find that potassium monpersulfe could be used as very good solution as it contains required oxideizer, sulfuric acid as one step solution.
- Wool Shrinkproofing
- Odor control agent in wastewater treatment
- Bleach component in denture cleanser and laundry formulations
- Activator in antimicrobial compositions
- Other uses where its combination of powerful oxidation and relative
Potassium monopersulfate can be added to pool water day or night, and swimming caroat, oxone, virkon can resume after a short waiting period to allow for adequate mixing and dispersion throughout the pool. No mixing is required; potassium monopersulfate is completely soluble in water and dissolves quickly. Broadcast monopersulfate shock slowly and uniformly over the surface of the water, adding about two-thirds of the total dose over the deep end. Shock with the filter running to ensure complete mixing and good circulation.Potassium monopersulfate is a versatile oxidant. It oxidizes aldehydes to carboxylic acids; in the presence of alcoholic solvents, the esters may be obtained. Internal alkenes may be cleaved to two carboxylic acids, while terminal alkenes may be epoxidized. Thioethers give sulfones, tertiary amines give amine oxides, and phosphines give phosphine oxides. It will also oxidize a thioether to a sulfone with 2 equivalents. With one equivalent the reaction converting sulfide to sulfoxide is much faster than that of sulfoxide to sulfone, so the reaction can conveniently be stopped at that stage if so desired.
