Raw Material for Potassium Persulfate Production
According to the Potassium Persulfate production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Potassium Persulfate include Ammonium Peroxydisulfate-Potassium Bisulfate.
Production Process of Potassium Persulfate
The extensive Potassium Persulfate production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Ammonium Peroxydisulfate and Potassium Bisulfate: The production process of potassium persulfate involves a replacement reaction. In this reaction, potassium bisulfate is reacted with a solution of ammonium peroxydisulfate, which leads to the precipitation of potassium persulfate. Finally, the product is cooled, separated, and crystallized to get pure potassium persulfate as the final product.
Potassium persulfate has a molecular formula of K2S2O8 and a molecular weight of 270.32 g/mol. It is a white, odorless, crystalline solid with a density of 2.477 g/cm³. It is moderately soluble in water but insoluble in alcohol and has a pH of 3.2. It is stable in its solid form at room temperature and decomposes below 100 degree Celsius. It releases oxygen upon heating and decomposes more rapidly in warm aqueous solutions. It is a strong oxidizing agent that makes it useful in applications like polymerizations, bleaching, textile desizing, etc.
