It is soluble in water and dissolves also in various organic solvents (e.g. methanol, ethanol). It decomposes at high temperature and also in the presence of concentrated acids, hydrogen peroxide and organic compounds in general. It hydrolyzes in contact with air, reducing to manganese dioxide (MnO2), a solid, brown to black colour product. 4 Purity criteria 4.1 General This European Standard specifies the minimum purity requirements for Potassium permanganate used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption. Limits are given for impurities commonly present in the product. Depending on the raw material and the manufacturing process other impurities may be present and, if so, this shall be notified to the user and when necessary to relevant authorities. NOTE Users of this product should check the national regulations in order to clarify whether it is of appropriate purity for treatment of water intended for human consumption, taking into account raw water quality, required dosage, contents of other impurities and additives used in the product not stated in the product standard. Limits have been given for impurities and chemicals parameters where these are likely to be present in significant quantities from the current production process and raw materials. If the production process or raw materials leads to significant quantities of impurities, by-products or additives being present, this shall be notified to the user. 4.2 Composition of commercial product The potassium permanganate content shall not be less than a mass fraction of 98,5 % in the technical grade, and a mass fraction of 97,5 % in the free-flowing grade. 4.3 Impurities and main by-products MnO2 (water insolubles): less than a mass fraction of 1,00 %.

EN 12672:2008 (E) 10 Standardize the solution as follows:  Weigh 2,120 g of the sodium oxalate (5.2.1.2.2) and transfer to a 1 l volumetric flask. Add 20 ml of 20 % (m/m) H2SO4 (5.2.1.2.3) to the 1 l volumetric flask containing the oxalate, dissolve and allow to stand for 5 min. Transfer 40 ml of the sodium oxalate solution by pipette into a small conical flask, heat to 70 °C to 80 °C and titrate with the potassium permanganate standard volumetric solution to a faint pink end-point that persists for 20 s to
30 s. The standardization factor (F) is calculated as follows: VF40=
