colorless or white crystals. No odor. d2. 477. Soluble in about 50 parts of water, 25 parts of 40 deg C water, aqueous solution is acidic. Insoluble in ethanol. The gradual decomposition in air releases oxygen, and the decomposition is faster at high temperature, and the total decomposition is at 100. Risk of combustion explosion when contacted or mixed with organic matter, reducing agents, and combustible materials. Explosion can occur when heated sharply.
ammonium persulfate was dissolved in water, and potassium hydroxide solution was added. The mixture was heated under aeration until ammonia was depleted. After cooling, Suction filtration crystallization, washing, drying to obtain potassium peroxodisulfate.
It is used as an analytical reagent for the determination of manganese content in steel analysis; It is also used as a disinfectant, a fabric bleaching agent, a sodium thiosulfate remover and a deodorizing agent; It is used as an oxidant for dyes and inorganic salts in chemical reactions; it is used as an initiator for elastomer in synthetic rubber; It is used as an accelerator for polyvinyl chloride emulsion polymerization in the production of synthetic resin; And it is also a raw material for the preparation of hydrogen peroxide.

Overview | potassium persulfate (formula K2S2O8), also known as high potassium sulfate, molecular weight: 270.32, decomposition temperature: 50-60 ℃, is a white, tasteless Crystal, soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, with strong oxidation, commonly used as bleach, oxidant, it can also be used as a polymerization initiator, which hardly absorbs moisture, has good stability at room temperature, is convenient for storage, and has the advantages of convenience and safety. Applications include polymerization initiators, circuit board cleaning and etching, copper and aluminum surface activation, starch modification, low temperature bleaching and Desizing of pulp and fabrics, purification of circulating water systems, oxidative degradation of harmful gases, low formaldehyde adhesive adhesion acceleration, ethanol and aromatic hydrocarbon oxidation, disinfectant, hair dye decolorization. |
half-life | 80 ℃-1.5 hours; 70 ℃-7.7 hours; 60 ℃-33 hours; 45 °c -292 hours; 35 °c -1600 hours. |
recrystallization | potassium persulfate was dissolved in water at 30 °c and cooled to obtain a recrystallized product, which was filtered and dried under reduced pressure in the presence of calcium chloride. |
solubility in water (g/100ml) | grams dissolved per 100ml of water: 4.7g/20 ℃ |
Main application fields | potassium persulfate is mainly used for initiator and strong oxidant initiator: Potassium persulfate is latex or acrylic monomer polymerization liquid, vinyl acetate, the initiator of vinyl chloride and other products is also the initiator of the copolymerization of styrene, acrylonitrile, butadiene and Other colloids. Strong oxidants:(1) used as Desizing agent and bleach activator. (2) for the oxidation and degradation of harmful substances in water pool and closed cycle treatment. (3) is the production of starch regulator, and used in the production of adhesives and coatings. (4) for branched-chain oxidation, ethanol and aromatic hydroxyl oxidation. (5) is one of the basic components of the hair dye, the role of decolorization. |
toxicity | not dosage specified (FAO/WHO,2001). potassium persulfate powder has a stimulating effect on the nasal mucosa, and the packaging room requires good ventilation to prevent dust from flying. Wear labor protection products at work. |
precautions for storage and transportation | potassium persulfate is a non-flammable product, but it has a combustion-supporting effect due to the release of oxygen, the storage environment must be dry, clean and well ventilated. Pay attention to moisture and rain, rain is not suitable for transport. Should be kept away from fires, heat sources and direct sunlight. Keep the outer package sealed and the label intact and clear. It should be stored separately from flammable or combustible materials, organic matter, rust, a small amount of metal, and other reducing substances, and should not be mixed to prevent the decomposition and explosion of potassium persulfate. |
Use | used as initiator, bleaching agent, oxidant, etc. wheat flour gluten agent. It is mainly used as disinfectant and fabric bleaching agent. Dyes and inorganic salts are industrially used as oxidants. The synthetic rubber industry is used as an initiator for emulsion polymerization. Synthetic resins are used as polymerization promoters. In addition, it is also used in iron and steel, photosensitive industry and medicine. used as analytical reagent, oxidant and plastic initiator, and also used in the printing of films |
production method | The potassium sulfate method uses ammonium sulfate and sulfuric acid to prepare an electrolyte solution to remove impurities and then conduct electrolysis. HSO4-generates persulfate by discharge at the anode, and then reacts with ammonium sulfate to generate ammonium persulfate. Then, potassium sulfate is added for double decomposition reaction, and potassium persulfate is obtained by cooling, separation, crystallization and drying. Its anode reaction: 2HSO4-2e → H2S2O8 cathode reaction: 2h2e → H2 (NH4)2SO4 H2S2O8 →(NH4)2S2O8 H2SO4(NH4)2S2O8 K2SO4 H2SO4 → K2S2O8 2NH4HSO4 obtained by double decomposition reaction of ammonium persulfate and potassium sulfate, followed by cooling, separation, crystallization and drying. |
