Potassium peroxymonosulfate is an oxidant used for halogenation of a,b-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and catalytic generation of hypervalent iodine reagents for alcohol oxidation.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate is used for rapid, and good synthesis of oxaziridines from imines using buffered OXONE.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate is a reactive oxygen species (ROS) that has an inhibitory effect on the growth of bacteria.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate is used as a disinfectant or sterilant and is often used in wastewater treatment plants to remove organic contaminants such as naphthalene.
The mechanism of action for Potassium peroxymonosulfate involves its reaction with the electron-rich functional groups found on the bacterial cell membrane, which forms peroxides that cause irreversible damage to the cell.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate also reacts with DNA, RNA, and proteins, and is therefore toxic to all cells.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate has been shown to be effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, but Potassium peroxymonosulfate does not work well against acid-fast bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium avium complex.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate (Potassium Monopersulfate, 2KHSO5 KHSO4 K2SO4, 2KHSO5·KHSO4·K2SO4, Potassium hydrogen monopersulfate) is widely used in swimming pools to keep the water clear, thus allowing chlorine in pools to work to sanitize the water rather than clarify the water, resulting in less chlorine needed to keep pools clean.
This is the main mechanism of action of Potassium peroxymonosulfate (Potassium Monopersulfate, 2KHSO5 KHSO4 K2SO4, 2KHSO5·KHSO4·K2SO4, Potassium hydrogen monopersulfate).
There is also a unwanted effect of using Potassium Monopersulfate (Potassium Peroxymonosulfate)
Compound in pools: it can lead to the common DPD #3 water test for combined chlorine to read incorrectly high.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate compound is a free-flowing, white granular solid, soluble in water.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate 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.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate’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.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate’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.
Potassium peroxymonosulfate’s also an oxygen releasing agent in aquiculture and low temperature bleaching agent in detergent formulatio
