		Permanganate is a strong oxidizer, and similar to perchlorate.
		Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is an inorganic chemical compound composed of potassium (K+) and permanganate (MnO4-) ions.
		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.

	The Hoodlums > Potassium Permanganate For Water Treatment
		Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is used primarily to control taste and odors, remove color, control biological growth in treatment plants, and remove iron and manganese.
		While it is not considered a primary disinfectant, potassium permanganate has an effect on the development of a disinfection strategy by serving as an alternative to pre-chlorination or other oxidants at locations in a treatment plant where chemical oxidation is desired for control of color, taste and odor, and algae.

		The continuing increase in the illicit manufacture of amphetamine-type-stimulants, the growth of heroin manufacture in Afghanistan, and the impact of intensive international cooperation in the control of potassium permanganate have been the major factors that influenced chemical diversion trends in 1999.
		Potassium permanganate was one of two chemicals identified in the UNGASS Precursor Chemical Action Plan for controls stricter than those required by the 1988 UN Drug Convention.
		Among the findings thus far are that potassium permanganate is being imported disguised as other chemicals and that much of the diversion takes place in quantities less than 5 kilograms.

		As an electrophile, the permanganate ion is strongly attracted to the electrons in carbon-carbon double bonds found in chlorinated alkenes, borrowing electron density from these bonds to form a bridged, unstable oxygen compound known as the hypomanganate diester.
		Permanganate can also be used to treat organic compounds that contain hydroxy functional groups such as primary and secondary alcohols, as well as some organic acids such as phenol.
		The permanganate is attracted to the negative charge, resulting in an oxidation reaction that converts the compound into an aldehyde, ketone or carboxylic acid.
