I was using potassium periodate today, that's fairly uncommon.

Interesting, what did you use it in?

I'd assumed it would be like a less reactive perchlorate. Apparently Manganese dioxide catalyses the release of oxygen.

Really.

Well, I'll have to get some of that too.

How is it with regular oxidizers in comparison to other and more regularly used catalysts?

[YT2095]

periodates are a little less reactive than perchlorates, Bromates on the other hand are considerably MORE reactive! (you can`t make perbromates without Isotopes).

again, as with Any halate/perhalate do not use Sulpher or Phosphorus (red phos too) in any mix.

Indeed - I have potassium bromate here right now.

I have made deflagerants from it but most of them are experimental.

An amount as small as a thin, barely visible layer of dust can deflagerate in a hundredth of an eye blink.... so to speak.


Anyone think about making a perbromate?

That is, if any of us have the adiquate equipment to prepare such a thing from KSeO4 or the likes...
