Pharmacological effects of potassium permanganate
Ingestion of potassium permanganate solution can cause a series of gastrointestinal irritation symptoms, such as burning sensation, swelling, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain in the oropharynx. In severe cases, it can cause difficulty in speech, swallowing, and breathing, as well as proteinuria. The lethal dose is 10g. The solution should be freshly prepared, as it will be reduced and lose its effectiveness after a while. It should not be mixed with reducing agents such as glycerin, iodine, and sugar, to prevent explosion. High concentrations are irritating to the skin.

The role of potassium permanganate in the field of new energy materials
Potassium permanganate plays a crucial role in the field of new energy materials. In the battery manufacturing process, it serves as an important chemical raw material, helping to improve the energy storage efficiency and safety of batteries. Particularly in the electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries, the addition of potassium permanganate enhances the stability of the electrolyte, reduces internal side reactions, and extends battery life. Furthermore, its strong oxidizing properties also help purify materials and enhance material activity during special battery manufacturing processes. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and renewable energy, the demand for and application prospects of potassium permanganate will be even broader. In general, the role of potassium permanganate in the field of new energy materials is indispensable.

Hazardous properties of potassium permanganate
Potassium permanganate is toxic and corrosive. Inhalation can cause respiratory damage. If it splashes into the eyes, it will irritate the conjunctiva, and severe cases can cause burns. It turns brown-black after irritating the skin. Concentrated solutions or crystals are corrosive to the skin and irritating to tissues. After oral administration, it will severely corrode the oral cavity and digestive tract. Symptoms include burning sensation in the mouth, upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and swelling of the mouth and throat. In cases of large oral doses, the oral mucosa will be stained black and brown-black, swollen and eroded, with gastric bleeding, liver and kidney damage, severe abdominal pain, vomiting, bloody stools, shock, and finally death from circulatory failure. The lethal dose of pure potassium permanganate is about 10g. Hazard properties: This product is a combustion aid, corrosive, irritating, and can cause burns to the human body.

Chemical properties of potassium permanganate
Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidant, commonly used as an oxidizing agent in laboratories and industries. It decomposes upon contact with ethanol. In acidic media, it slowly decomposes into manganese dioxide, potassium salt, and oxygen. Light catalyzes this decomposition; therefore, it is usually stored in brown bottles in the laboratory. Its strong oxidizing properties can be seen from the element potential diagram and the free energy oxidation state diagram. In alkaline solutions, its oxidizing power is weaker than in acidic solutions. The reduction product as an oxidizing agent varies depending on the acidity or alkalinity of the medium.
