Potassium Permanganate 25kg
Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄) is used as a powerful oxidiser and disinfectant in large-scale applications like water treatment (removing iron/manganese), chemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and even aquaculture for water quality. Smaller quantities are used in medicine for skin conditions, treating wounds, and as an antiseptic, while it also serves as an analytical reagent in labs and can be used in horticulture and for general disinfection, though with caution due to its strong oxidising nature.
Major Uses (Industrial & Bulk)
Water Treatment: Oxidizes dissolved iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide, and controls iron bacteria in municipal and private water supplies.
Wastewater Treatment: Reduces odors and chemical/biological oxygen demand.
Chemical Industry: A key reagent and oxidizer in producing various chemicals.
Aquaculture: Controls algae, pathogens, and improves water quality in fish farms.
Horticulture: Disinfects plants, controls pests, and improves soil oxygen.
Medical & Lab Uses (Smaller Scale/Diluted)
Disinfectant: For wounds, skin infections (like athlete’s foot), dermatitis, and fungal issues.
Antiseptic Soaks: Diluted solutions dry skin and promote healing.
Analytical Chemistry: Used in redox titrations (e.g., permanganate value) and organic analysis.
Other Applications
Survival: For emergency water disinfection (with caution), fire starting, and signalling (purple stain in snow).
Important Precautions
It’s a strong oxidizer; wear gloves and eye protection.
Can be harmful if swallowed or inhaled and is toxic to aquatic life.
Can harm biological filtration in aquariums; remove carbo
