General description

Potassium perchlorate is mainly used as an oxidizing agent in propellants and pyrotechnic compositions.

Application

  • Potassium perchlorate–the component of the low-speed explosive composition: Discusses the use of potassium perchlorate as an explosive component, exploring its characteristics and applications in the explosives industry (V Zakusylo, A Romanchenko, 2014).
  • Thermal behavior and combustion of Al nanoparticles/MnO2-nanorods nanothermites with addition of potassium perchlorate: Studies the effects of potassium perchlorate in enhancing the combustion characteristics of nanothermite composites, which are used in various energetic materials applications (J Song et al., 2019).

In this study, new chiral ionic liquids (CILs) were obtained from the natural-origin material (1 R,2 S,5 R)-(-)-menthol. The physicochemical characteristics of the studied imidazolium salts were investigated. The obtained 3-ethyl-1-[(1 R,2 S,5 R)-(-)-menthoxy-methyl]imidazolium salts are nonvolatile, nonflammable, and stable

Treatment of perchlorate-contaminated water using highly selective, regenerable ion-exchange and perchlorate-destruction technologies was demonstrated at a field site in California. Four treatment and four regeneration cycles were carried out, and no significant deterioration of resin performance was noted in 2
