Peroxydicarbonic acid, dipotassium salt Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden

• Chemische Eigenschaften

  white, granular mass; sensitive to light [MER06]

• Physikalische Eigenschaften

  The monohydrate consists of a white granular mass; starts melting above 200°C; soluble in water, about 15 g/100mL at 20°C; decomposes in boiling water, evolving oxygen.

• Verwenden

  Potassium percarbonate is used in photography under the name “Antihypo” for removing the last traces of thiosulfate from film and paper. It is a strong oxidizing agent in certain chemical analysis; and in microscopic identification of tubercle bacilli.

• synthetische

  Potassium percarbonate can be prepared by electrolysis of potassium car-bonate, K₂CO₃.
