General information

Permanganates are derived from permanganic acid, which is only stable in a dilute aqueous solution. Permanganates are strong oxidizing agents and form purple solutions when dissolved in water.

Important permanganates are potassium, calcium, magnesium and silver permanganate.

Areas of application

Permanganates are used, among other things, to clean organic liquids, as well as exhaust air and waste water in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

Potassium permanganate is used in a variety of applications due to its strong oxidizing effect. It is often used as an oxidizing agent in chemical synthesis and organic reactions.

In water treatment, it is used to remove manganese and to backwash filter systems.

In addition, potassium permanganate is an important raw material in the production of saccharin, the oldest synthetic sweetener.

Potassium permanganate is of great importance for the textile industry. Potassium permanganate is used here in large quantities to bleach denim due to its strong oxidative properties.
