Potassium Permanganate
A powerful oxidising agent for iron and manganese removal, taste and odour control, and disinfection.
Potassium Permanganate (KMnO₄) is a dark purple, crystalline compound known for its strong oxidizing properties. It is soluble in water, producing a vivid purple solution. Commonly used in water treatment to remove impurities, it also serves as an antiseptic for wound care, a chemical reagent in laboratories, and a fungicide in agriculture. While effective, it can be harmful in concentrated forms, requiring careful handling and storage away from organic materials.
