The present approach for determining the electrophilicity (E) and nucleophilicity (N) of aldehydes includes a kinetic study of KMNO4 oxidation and NaBH4 reduction of aldehydes. A transition state analysis of the KMNO4 promoted aldehyde oxidation reaction has been performed, which shows a very good correlation with experimental results. The validity of the experimental method has been tested usi...

Physical, chemical, and biological fractions of SOC pools, such as coarse particulate organic matter C (CPOM-C), permanganate oxidizable C (KMnO4-C), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), and mineralizable C (Cmin) respond to changes in management practices and provide sensitive indication of changes in the SOC dynamics than commonly reported total soil C alone. We hypothesized that tillage and N-fer...

From quantitative electron-microscope observations on the binding of permanganate to regions of erythrocytes and reticulocytes of known chemical composition, it is concluded that KMnO4, like phosphotungstic acid (PTA), binds preferentially to sites on proteins. Compared with PTA, KMnO4 binding exhibits less anomalous behaviour. The data support the hypothesis previously put forward that the 2 r...

Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is rarely used for suicidal attempt. Its ingestion can lead to local as well as systemic toxicities due to coagulation necrosis and damage, caused by free radicals of permanganate. We recently managed a case of suicidal ingestion of KMnO4 in a lethal dose. She had significant narrowing of upper airway leading to difficult intubation as well as hepatic dysfunction ...

An impedimetric NOx dosimeter based on the NOx sorption material KMnO4 is proposed. In addition to its application as a low level NOx dosimeter, KMnO4 shows potential as a precious metal free lean NOx trap material (LNT) for NOx storage catalysts (NSC) enabling electrical in-situ diagnostics. With this dosimeter, low levels of NO and NO2 exposure can be detected electrically as instantaneous va...

In this study, sequential KMnO4-promoted oxidative pyrolysis and H2O2 oxidation were employed to upgrade the adsorption capacities of durian shell biochar for methylene blue (MB) tetracycline (TC) in an aqueous solution. It was found that KMnO4/H2O2 co-modification greatly influenced by temperature optimal 300 °C. Moreover, a low concentration enabled improvement capabilities with catalysis pre...

The chorio-allantoic membranes of White Leghorn chick embryos at 10 to 12 days after laying were fixed in Palade's buffered osmium tetroxide or in Luft's potassium permanganate. After fixation in these two ways the general appearance is similar, but there are differences in certain tissue elements. Cell membranes are well preserved after fixation in KMnO4. Certain lipid inclusions in the cytopl...

A novel flow-injection chemiluminescence(CL)method has been developed for the determination of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CT), based on their inhibition of the chemiluminescence reaction of luminol–KMnO4–β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). It was found that β-cyclodextrin could effectively enhance the chemiluminescence produced from the reaction of luminol with KMnO4 in basic media. The proposed method...

This study examined the photolytic degradation of C.I. Acid Red 73 AR73 diazo dye, in aqueous solution by combined UV, hydrogen peroxide and KMnO4. A continuous circulated photoreactor equipped with a low pressure mercury lamp 15 W, emission 253.7 nm was used. In the first step, potassium permanganate was used for decolourisation of AR73 dye solution. The effect of the key operating variables s...
