Conure Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 What products are produced when persulfates of ammonium and potassium reacts with common fuels like aluminium and shellac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alejosnap2 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 ¡Hi friend!The balanced ecuation is K2S2O8 + 4Al → K2S + SO2 + Al2O3. It's a simple redox reaction. In the shellac case is very hard to know, becouse there are many organic acids in its coposition. When them oxid, generate CO2 gas in major cuantity. excuse me for my english level.

Richtee Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 excuse me for my english level.It’s not about the English. Hell, I don’t even speak/write it well, according to The King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmjlab Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I'm not sure about any of that, but I did mess around with some Potassium Peroxymonosulfate and it helped oxidize all of the organics out of hardware Sulfuric Acid (as purchased from the hardware store) without any heating. I was following a suggestion from a Doug's Lab video for purifying hardware store Sulfuric Acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmjlab Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) This also demonstrates my lack of chemistry knowledge, as the two I'm sure are entirely unrelated! (Persulfates VS Peroxymonosulfates) *Edit* I take that back - it appears there was some level of competence in that users suggestion, the link goes to a theory on the use of sulfates and peroxymonosulfates in Advanced Oxidation in water treatment..... https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.9b07082 Edited September 1, 2022 by cmjlab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does ammonium persulfate make ammonium sulfide then I guess? Nasty stuff I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
