Sodium persulfate is an inorganic compound. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, but less soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ethers.
Sodium persulfate has strong oxidation, is often used as an oxidizing agent in chemical reactions, can be used in organic synthesis oxidation reaction, commonly seen in dyes, pigments, cellulose, rubber and plastics synthesis and other industrial processes.
There are many ways to prepare sodium persulfate, and one of the common methods is to react sodium persulfate hydrogen peroxide with sulfur dioxide. In addition, sodium persulfate can also be obtained by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and sodium sulfite.
Safety information for sodium persulfate: It is oxidizing and should be handled with caution. Avoid contact with combustibles, reducing agents, organic matter, etc., to avoid harmful substances. Take protective measures during use, such as wearing protective gloves and goggles. Store in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources. If you accidentally inhale or touch sodium sulfate, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention in time.It can be used as breaking agent of oil well fracturing fluid, depolarizing agent of battery and initiator of emulsification polymerization of organic polymer. The photographic industry is used for film development, fixing agent I in the textile industry as a depulping agent, reducing dye hair color agent. It can also be used as waste liquid treatment agent, metal surface treatment agent, etching agent for printed circuit plate, etc.
