2. Potassium permanganate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_permanganate

   Potassium permanganate is widely used in the chemical industry and laboratories as a strong oxidizing agent, and also as a medication for dermatitis, for cleaning wounds, and general disinfection. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [5] In 2000, worldwide production was estimated at 30,000 tons. [5]

3. In situ chemical oxidation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_chemical_oxidation

   In addition, because both sodium permanganate and potassium permanganate solutions have a density greater than water's density, permanganate can travel through the contaminated area through density-driven diffusion. [3] The use of permanganate creates the byproduct MnO 2, which is naturally present in the soil and is therefore a safe byproduct. [5]

4. Potash - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potash

   Potassium is the third major plant and crop nutrient after nitrogen and phosphorus. It has been used since antiquity as a soil fertilizer (about 90% of current use). [10] Fertilizer use is the main driver behind potash consumption, especially for its use in fertilizing crops that contribute to high-protein diets.

5. Chlorine production - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine_production

   Potassium permanganate can be used to generate chlorine gas when concentrated hydrochloric acid is added to it: 2KMn04 + 16HCl —> 2KCl + 2MnCl2 + 8H2O + 5Cl2 This process has been investigated by Venable & Jackson and fails if the concentation of the hydrochloric acid solution drops below 2mM Venable, F. P.; Jackson, D.H. (1920). "The ...

6. Potassium ferrocyanide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_ferrocyanide

   Potassium hexacyanidoferrate(II) can be used as a fertilizer for plants. [citation needed] Prior to 1900, before the invention of the Castner process, potassium hexacyanidoferrate(II) was the most important source of alkali metal cyanides. [6] In this historical process, potassium cyanide was produced by decomposing potassium hexacyanidoferrate ...

7. Chemical oxygen demand - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_demand

   Potassium permanganate's effectiveness at oxidizing organic compounds varied widely, and in many cases, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) measurements were often much greater than results from COD measurements. This indicated that potassium permanganate could not effectively oxidize all organic compounds in water, rendering it a relatively poor ...

8. Chemical chameleon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_chameleon

   Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and ammonium hydroxide can be used to alkalize the permanganate solution, while a variety of reducing agents can be used, sugars being common. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] [ 8 ] A similar demonstration involves soaking paper in alkalized permanganate solution, which produces the same color changes as the paper is oxidized ...

9. Permanganate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanganate

   Permanganate compounds are common and strong disinfectants, used regularly to sanitize baths, toilets, and wash basins. [citation needed] It is a cheap and extremely effective compound for the task. Potassium permanganate is used as a disinfectant and water treatment additive in aquaculture. [4]
