potassium peroxymonosulfate melting point

Oxone is a potassium peroxymonosulfate (KMPS)-based oxidizing agent that is used in swimming pool water treatment. Its oxidizing properties help destroy organic contaminants that can contribute to bacterial growth and a range of illnesses in pools and spas. Its use as a sanitizer for pool water is also growing in popularity due to its non-chlorine oxidation properties and ability to produce clean, sparkling water without the need for chlorine.

KMPS is a strong, versatile oxidant that oxidizes aldehydes to carboxylic acids, internal alkenes to epoxidized two-carbon compounds and terminal alkenes to sulfones or amine oxides in the presence of alcoholic solvents. It can be dissolved and is readily available in granular form at most swimming pool stores and some home-improvement retail outlets.

The product is used in a wide range of applications including manufacture of dry laundry bleaches, detergent-bleach washing compound, scouring powders, plastic dishware cleaners, metal cleaners; hair-wave neutralizers and pharmaceuticals; general oxidizing reactions. It can also be used in the production of sanitizer products such as dry chlorine and chlorine dioxide-based systems, chlorine-free oxidation systems and chlorinated sanitizer systems.

It is also a common oxidizer in pool shock treatments where it binds to and removes electrons from algae, pathogens, cyanobacteria and other contaminants that are unable to be removed by primary sanitizers. It is effective in eliminating odors, chlorine irritation and stains caused by swimmers’ sweat and urine, as well as wind-blown debris and other organic materials. Unlike chlorine, it does not irritate the skin and is non-chloramine free. It can be applied day or night, without requiring mixing. It can be used in conjunction with all sanitizer systems and is compatible with biguanide systems.
