Chlorate. Potassium chlorate, [CAS 3811-04-9], chlorate of potash, KCIO, white solid, soluble, mp about 350°C, powerful oxidizing agent, and consequently a fire hazard with dry organic materials, such as clothes, and with sulfur upon heating oxygen is liberated and the residue is potassium chloride formed by electrolysis of potassium chloride solution under proper conditions, Used (l)m matches, (2) in pyrotechnics, (3) as disinfectant, (4) as a source of oxygen upon heating, (Hazardous Use of potassium perchlorate is recommended instead )... 

A powder which burns with a green flame is obtained by the addition of nitrate of baryta to chlorate of potash, nitrate of potash, acetate of copper. A white flame is made by the addition of sulfide of antimony, sulfide of arsenic, camphor. Red by the mixture of lampblack, coal, bone ash, mineral oxide of iron, nitrate of strontia, pumice stone, mica, oxide of cobalt. Blue with ivory, bismuth, alum, zinc, copper sulfate purified of its sea water [sic]. Yellow by amber, carbonate of soda, sulfate of soda, cinnabar. It is necessary in order to make the colors come out well to animate the combustion by adding chlorate of potash.15... 

Stars Crimson. — 1. Chlorate of potash 24 parts nitrate of strontia, 32 parte calomel. 12 parts sulphur 8 parts shellac in fine powder Sparta sulphide of copper 2 parts fine charcoal 2 parts. 

Chlorate of potash, 12 parts nitrate of strontia, 20 parte sulphur 11 parts charcoal, 2 parts antimony 2 parts mastic, 1 part. 

Rose Colored Stars —Chlorate of potash 20 parts carbonate of strontia, 8 parts calomel, 10 parts shellac 2 parts sulphur 3 parts fine charcoal 1 part The advantage of this composition is that it is not at all liable to suffer from damp in winter. The carbonate of strontia is a salt not absorbent of moisture like the nitrate, and is, moreover, always to be had in a state of fine powder. 

Green Stars.—1. Chlorate of potash, 20 parts nitrate of baryta, 40 parts calomel, 10 parts sulphur, 8 parts shellac. 3 parts flue charcoal 1 part fused sulphide of copper, 1 part. 

Chlorate of potash 28 parts nitrate of baryta, 12 parts sulphur, 15 parts mastic, 1 part. 

Pale Green Stare.—Nitrate of baryta, 16 parts chlorate of potash, 8 parts sulphur, 6 parts ... 

Yellow Stars.—U Chlorate of potash 20 parts bicarbonate of soda, 10 parts sulphur 5 parts mastic. 1 part. 

Chlorate of potash, 30 parts dried soda, 12 parts sulphur, 8 parts. 

Gelder. Yellow Stars —Chlorate of potash, 20 parts nitrate of baryta, 30 parts oxalate of soda, 15 parts sulphur 8 parts shellac 4 parts. If it Is thought advisable to give the stars made from this formula a tailed appearance, add one part of fine charcoal. The composition is to be moistened with the shellac solution. The stars form a beautiful contrast with those of an intense blue. 

Chlorate of potash. 20 parts carbonate of copper, 14 parts sulphur 12 parts mastic 1 part. 

Violet Stars.—Chlorate of potash 9 ports nitrate of strontia, 4 ports sulphur, 6 parts carbonate of copper 1 part calomel, 1 part mastic, port.

This method is employed for the separation of cells. Radial-longitudinal sections, that may be cut with a pen knife, are placed in a beaker or test tube containing 50 mils of nitric acid of specific gravity 1.3 (about 2 volumes of nitric acid and i volume of water will serve purpose). To this add i gram of chlorate of potash crystals and heat gently until the reddish color which first appears... 

The operation takes place in a horizontal cylindrical iron vessel fitted with a stirrer. Into this are introduced one part of anthra-quinonemonosulphonate of soda, with about three parts of caustic soda and a certain amount of water and chlorate of potash. The mixture is then heated several days to 180 -200°.
