Chloric Acid and Its Salts
Chloric acid, HClO3·7H2 ..... Click the link for more information. . perchlorate [pər′klȯr‚āt] (inorganic chemistry) A salt of perchloric acid containing the ClO4-radical; for example, potassium perchlorate, KClO4. Perchlorate any salt of perchloric acid (HClO4). A perchlorate is colorless if its cation is colorless. Perchlorates dissolve freely in water, except potassium perchlorate (KCIO4), whose slight solubility is only 1.3 g per 100 g H2 O at 25°C. They are stable when heated to temperatures between 300° and 600°C; at higher temperatures they decompose and release oxygen, as in the reaction KCIO4 = KCl + 2O2. Among the methods for obtaining perchlorates are heating of chlorates and electrolysis of chlorate solutions. Perchlorates are used to make safety explosives; for example, KCIO4 is a stronger oxidizing agent than potassium chlorate (KCIO3) and is suitable for storage, since it does not explode upon friction or impact.

OTCBB:BUGS), has successfully completed a paid pilot demonstration of its Bio-Raptor(TM) treatment system technology for the rapid cleanup of soils impacted with perchlorates at a confidential client's former rocket fuel manufacturing facility. The federal government should help clean perchlorates - a residue of rocket fuel - from the Saugus Aquifer because the pollution is a result of work done for the nation's defense in the days before environmental regulations, McKeon said Thursday, during a tour of the Bermite property on Soledad Canyon Road. |
