Potassium perchlorate (KClO₄), an important inorganic compound, is a white crystalline powder at room temperature. It has low solubility in water, but has strong chemical stability, is not easy to deliquesce and deteriorate, and is easy to store.
The core property is its strong oxidizing property. Potassium perchlorate can release a large amount of oxygen at high temperature, prompting oher substances to undergo violent redox reactions. This property makes it a key raw material in many application fields:
Fireworks and propellants: As an oxidizer, it is the core component of fireworks, flares, and rocket solid propellants, providing combustion power and brilliant colors.
Special fields: In the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used in small amounts to treat hyperthyroidism; in analytical chemistry, it is used as an oxidant.
From bright fireworks lighting up the night sky to providing power for rocket propulsion, potassium perchlorate continues to play a key role in science, technology and industry with its irreplaceable oxidizing ability, and its safe application is always the core premise.
