Potassium persulfate is the inorganic compound with the formula K2S2O8. Also known as potassium peroxydisulfate or KPS, it is a white solid that is sparingly soluble in cold water but dissolves better in warm water. This salt is a powerful oxidant, commonly used to initiate polymerizations.
This salt is used to initiate polymerization of various alkenes leading to commercially important polymers such as styrene-butadiene rubber and polytetrafluoroethylene and related materials. In solution, the dianion dissociates to give radicals:
[O3SO-OSO3]2− ⇌ 2 [SO4]•−
It is used in organic chemistry as an oxidizing agent, for instance in the Elba persulfate oxidation of phenols and the Boyland–Sims oxidation of anilines.
As a strong yet stable bleaching agent, it also finds use in various hair bleaches and lighteners. Such brief and non-continuous use are normally hazard-free, however, prolonged contact can cause skin irritation. It has been used as an improving agent for flour with the E number E922, although it is no longer approved for this use within the EU.
Potassium persulfate is used as desizing agent and bleach activator.
Potassium persulfate is used for oxidative degradation of harmful substances in the pool and closed circular loop in water.
Potassium persulfate can be applied in the production of starch modifiers and applied in the production of adhesive and coating agents.
Potassium persulfate can be applied in the branched-chain oxidation, alcohol, and aromatic hydroxy oxidation.
Potassium persulfate is one of the basic constituents of hair dyes, it plays the role of decolorization.
