  Permanganate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Because manganese is in the +7 oxidation state, the permanganate ion is a strong oxidizer.
Permanganates may be produced by oxidization of manganese compounds by strong oxidizing agents, for instance, sodium hypochlorite or lead dioxide:
Permanganate is a strong oxidizer, and similar to perchlorate.

 Use of Potassium Permanganate to Control External Infections of Ornamental Fish
Because potassium permanganate is deactivated by organic matter, it may be necessary to increase the amount added to ponds or other systems where organic material has been allowed to accumulate.
Potassium permanganate can be used as a surface disinfectant at concentrations of 10 mg/L (30-60 minutes contact time) to 500 mg/L (30 seconds contact time) in a fish room or hatchery, however, quaternary ammonium compounds are better suited to this purpose.
Poor efficacy following use of potassium permanganate is usually caused by one of three factors: (1) incorrect or incomplete diagnosis; (2) incorrect calculation or measurement of amount of chemical needed; and (3) excessive organic material in the system resulting in rapid degradation of the chemical.

 Potassium permanganate part one
Potassium permanganate (chemical formula: KMnO4) is a caustic alkali that dissociates in water to form the permanganate ion (MnO4-) and also into Manganese dioxide (MnO2) along with the liberation of nascent (elemental) Oxygen molecules.
It is reported that the permanganate ion is the toxic "active-agent" that kills parasites by destroying the cell wall via oxidation.

 The Use of Potassium Permanganate in Fish Ponds
Contrary to some reports, potassium permanganate does not add significant amounts of oxygen to water and can actually decrease dissolved oxygen concentrations by killing algae that produce much of the oxygen in ponds.
Potassium permanganate reacts with organic matter and becomes neutralized and unavailable to treat the target parasite.
Another method to estimate the amount of potassium permanganate required for effective treatment is to determine the potassium permanganate demand or amount of chemical required to react with all the organic matter in a water sample.

 Permanganate Treatment Optimization Studies for Strontium and Actinide Removal from High Level Waste Simulants
To optimize the permanganate treatment for potential use in the SRS application, we studied the addition of permanganate and other agents (such as excess strontium and calcium) that are thought to facilitate high strontium and actinide removal from Hanford waste.
If permanganate treatment were selected for treatment of SRS HLW, exclusion of such agents (such as excess strontium and calcium) from the process if not required would decrease the solids loading of the concentrated waste prior to vitrification of the at the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF).
The test using sequential permanganate addition satisfied the WAC for plutonium [(assuming weapons grade (WG) composition, which is mostly plutonium-239)] while the test with a single, larger permanganate addition failed to meet the requirement.
