Detailed Introduction and Applications of Sodium Persulfate as a Powerful Oxidant


    In the field of environmental governance, Sodium Persulfate oxidant, through activation, generates sulfate radicals (SO₄·⁻), which can efficiently degrade refractory organic substances in wastewater, such as dyes, pesticide residues, etc. It is a key reagent in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). In industries like textiles and papermaking, Sodium Persulfate oxidant is used in bleaching and decolorization processes. In the electronics industry, as an important component of PCB board etchants, it demonstrates excellent oxidation efficiency. In chemical synthesis, as a strong oxidant, Sodium Persulfate oxidant can participate in processes such as the initiation of polymerization reactions and the oxidative transformation of organic compounds. The reaction conditions are mild, and the product selectivity is high. The Sodium Persulfate oxidant produced by Fujian ZhanHua Chemical strictly adheres to international quality standards, providing a full range of products from industrial grade to high purity, assisting customers in optimizing their process flows and enhancing environmental benefits.


    The strong oxidizing property of Sodium Persulfate is mainly reflected in its molecular structure. The Sodium Persulfate molecule contains two peroxy bonds (-O-O-), which enables it to release oxygen atoms and undergo oxidation reactions with other substances. This characteristic makes Sodium Persulfate perform excellently in treating some organic substances that are difficult to degrade, especially in the fields of water treatment and waste gas treatment. It can effectively decompose organic pollutants, reducing the negative impact on the environment.


    In the water treatment industry, Sodium Persulfate is often used as a key reagent in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). By combining with catalysts or ultraviolet light, Sodium Persulfate can generate highly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (·OH). These radicals can rapidly decompose harmful substances in water, such as pesticide residues and organic pollutants in industrial wastewater. Compared with traditional water treatment methods, the application of Sodium Persulfate not only improves the treatment efficiency but also reduces the risk of secondary pollution.


    In industrial production, Sodium Persulfate is also widely used in industries such as metal surface treatment, textile printing and dyeing, and papermaking. For example, in metal surface treatment, Sodium Persulfate can be used as an etchant to help remove the oxide layer on the metal surface, providing a clean substrate for subsequent coating or electroplating processes. In textile printing and dyeing, Sodium Persulfate is used as a bleaching agent, which can effectively remove pigments in fabrics, improving the whiteness and quality of products.


    In addition, Sodium Persulfate also has important applications in chemical synthesis. It can be used as an initiator to participate in polymerization reactions to produce high-molecular compounds. For example, in the rubber industry, Sodium Persulfate is often used as an initiator for rubber vulcanization, helping to produce rubber products with good physical properties. At the same time, Sodium Persulfate can also be used in the synthesis of raw materials in the pharmaceutical industry. Through its strong oxidizing property, it promotes the generation of pharmaceutical intermediates.


    Among many enterprises producing Sodium Persulfate, Fujian ZhanHua Chemical, as a high-tech enterprise specializing in the production and operation of persulfate series products, has become one of the top persulfate producers globally, relying on years of technical accumulation and large-scale production capacity. Its annual output reaches 50,000 tons, and the ongoing construction of the third-phase project will increase the annual output to 80,000 tons. Moreover, it has obtained both ISO9001 and ISO14001 certifications, and follows strict standards from raw material screening to packaging and transportation to ensure the high activity and stability of its products. Fujian ZhanHua Chemical not only focuses on the purity and stability of its products but also is committed to providing customized solutions for customers to meet the special needs of different industries. Its Sodium Persulfate products are widely used in fields such as water treatment, metal processing, and textile printing and dyeing, winning wide recognition from customers.


    In general, as a strong oxidant, Sodium Persulfate, with its efficient oxidizing ability and wide range of application fields, has become an indispensable chemical in modern industry and environmental protection. Whether in the advanced oxidation processes in water treatment or in metal surface treatment in industrial production, Sodium Persulfate has demonstrated its unique value. Enterprises like Fujian ZhanHua Chemical, through continuous innovation and optimization, have promoted the further development of Sodium Persulfate products, injecting new vitality into the industry.


    The applications of Sodium Persulfate are not limited to the current fields. With the progress of science and technology, its potential in more emerging industries will gradually become apparent. As a multifunctional and efficient chemical, Sodium Persulfate will continue to play an important role in environmental protection, industrial production, and scientific research.
