Potassium permanganate alumina balls are an oxidant carrier commonly used in air purification, water treatment and chemical reactions. They have strong oxidizing properties and safety regulations must be strictly followed when used to avoid danger.
一. Personal protection measures
- Wear protective equipment:
o Wear chemical-resistant gloves (such as nitrile rubber), goggles and dust masks during operation to avoid direct contact with skin or inhalation of dust.
o It is recommended to wear lab coats or protective clothing to prevent clothing contamination.
- Avoid direct contact:
o Potassium permanganate is corrosive and may cause burns or staining when in contact with the skin. If accidentally contacted, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
二. Operating environment requirements
- Good ventilation:
o Operate in a fume hood or a well-ventilated environment to avoid inhaling manganese dioxide gas that may be released.
- Keep away from flammable and explosive materials:
o Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidant. It is strictly forbidden to contact with organic matter (such as alcohol, grease, paper), reducing agents (such as sulfur, phosphorus) or acidic substances (such as concentrated sulfuric acid), otherwise it may cause violent reactions or even explosions.
- Moisture-proof and moisture-proof:
o Keep the environment dry during storage and use to avoid moisture that may cause decomposition or release of oxygen.
三. Storage management
- Sealed storage:
o Must be stored in a sealed, light-proof container (such as a brown glass bottle or plastic bottle) to prevent reaction with air or water vapor.
- Away from heat sources:
o Store in a cool, dry place, avoid high temperatures (>40°C) to prevent decomposition or release of oxygen.
- Classified storage:
o Store separately from flammable materials, acids, and reducing agents.
四. Precautions for use
- Avoid mechanical shock:
o Potassium permanganate alumina balls may react dangerously during grinding or violent collision, so they should be handled with care.
- Control the amount:
o Use according to actual needs and avoid large amounts of accumulation to prevent the exothermic reaction from getting out of control.
五. Disposal
- Do not discard at will:
o Residual potassium permanganate needs to be treated with a reducing agent until it is colorless, and then disposed of in accordance with the hazardous waste regulations.
- Environmental protection requirements:
o It is strictly forbidden to discharge into sewers or natural water bodies to avoid polluting the environment.
