in this research, kiwifruits (hayward) were selected in two mass ranges (large and small). they were placed in one-liter glass bottles in the vicinity of the polyethylene sachets containing potassium permanganate nano-zeolite (0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 g) and were stored in a germinator (5°c temperature and 30% relative humidity). then, the physicochemical properties of the fruits (soluble solid cont...

The aim of the present research is studying the effect of potassium permanganate addition on the pre-oxidation and coagulation of the surface water. River Nile and El Rayah El Tawfeky of Benha city, Egypt were the surface water supply used in this research. The results showed that El Rayah El Tawfeky raw water had higher turbidity concentration and humic acids absorbance (8.5 NTU and 0.024, res...

Many chemicals used as medical treatments can cause chemical burns as an untoward side effect. One of such chemicals is potassium permanganate. It is a caustic chemical used as a disinfectant. The most common sites of burn by potassium permanganate are exposed sites like the face and hands. Chemical burns in the perianal and anal region are rare in clinical practice and even sparser in the pedi...

Potassium permanganate pills were used by Rogers (1913) in cholera cases to neutralize the toxins of the cholera vibrio, and 'permanganate is commonly used to disinfect clothes, well water and tank water, cholera stools, etc., during an epidemic. Hands also are often washed with permanganate solutions after attending cholera cases. There are various old references to potassium permanganate in d...

Severe potassium permanganate poisoning (more than 10 g of potassium permanganate) is invariably associated with massive systemic upset and death. Multiple organ damage has been recognized as an inevitable consequence of such an overdose, although pancreatitis has not been previously reported. Death due to cardiovascular collapse and profound hypotension is a common end point in those who reach...

BACKGROUND Potassium permanganate is used clinically as an antiseptic and antifungal agent. Ingestion of potassium permanganate may result in damage to the upper gastrointestinal tract. Burns and ulceration of the mouth, esophagus and stomach occur due to its action. Emergency endoscopy is useful to assess the severity of damage and also to guide management. METHODS We reported a patient pres...

the kinetics of mn(vii) oxidation of lysine in moderately sulfuric acid solutions was studiedspectrophotometrically in the presence and absence of mn(ii) as catalyst. the reaction was arrangedto be under pseudo first-order condition with respect to mn(vii). the results showed that the pseudofirst-order rate constant increases with increasing [h2so4], [(mn)ii], and [lysine]. the dependence ofthe...

In order to improve adsorption capacity of granular activated carbon (GAC), potassium permanganate was used to react with GAC to change the surface properties and improve the adsorption capacity of GAC. By batch experiments, improvement of adsorption capacity of potassium permanganate modified GAC (GACM) was studied. The influence of adsorption time, temperature, ratio of phenol with GAC/GACM, ...

Whilst chemical cleavage of mismatch (CCM) detects all point mutations in DNA, its widespread use has been hampered by the complex multistage methodology and the need for toxic chemicals, in particular osmium tetroxide. Here we show that osmium tetroxide can be replaced by potassium permanganate, giving the same spectrum of mutation detection, but with greater sensitivity. The use of potassium ...
