PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Potassium permanganate is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula KMnO4. It is a strong oxidizing agent. As an oxidant, potassium permanganate can act as an antiseptic in water treatment. A primary use of permanganate is iron and manganese removal. The other major application of KMnO4 is as a reagent for the synthesis of organic compounds like ascorbic acid, chloramphenicol, saccharin, isonicotinic acid, and pyrazinoic acid. It is also used in fruit ripening process.
The Indian demand for potassium permanganate is around 8300 metric tonnes per annum. The global production of potassium permanganate is around 0.2 million tonnes per annum. Municipal consumption for drinking and wastewater treatment remains the primary use for potassium permanganate and accounts for about three quarters of current U.S. demand. The growth rate in demand for potassium permanganate is around 2% per annum.
At industrial level Potassium permanganate is made from MnO2 containing ore by fusion process using the roasting processes and liquid-phase process. Potassium permanganate is produced from manganese dioxide, which also occurs as the mineral pyrolusite. The MnO2 is fused with potassium hydroxide and heated in air or with potassium nitrate (a source of oxygen). This process gives potassium manganate, which upon electrolytic oxidation in alkaline solution gives potassium permanganate.
There is a very good scope and market potential of Potassium permanganate due to its multivarious applications.
