Potassium persulfate Uses

 Potassium persulphate (CAS NO.7727-21-1) is used as a food additive and it is also used in organic chemistry as an oxidizing agent for instance in the Elbs persulfate oxidation. Besides, this substance is also used as whitening agent with hydrogen peroxide in hair dye. Further more it is also an important role as initiator for emulsion polymerization.

Potassium persulfate Production

Production of Potassium persulphate (CAS NO.7727-21-1):
 Potassium persulfate can be prepared by electrolysis of a mixture between potassium sulfate and hydrogen sulfate at a high current density.

2 KHSO4 → K2S2O8 + H2 
 Potassium persulfate  can still be prepared by adding potassium hydrogen sulfate (KHSO4) to an electrolyzed solution of ammonium hydrogen sulfate (NH4HSO4).
