Peroxymonosulphuric acid

Peroxymonosulphuric acid (PMSA, H SO ) proved to be a promising oxidizer in reactions with chemiluminescent substances (luminol) with participation of such ions as Mn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Cr(IV), V(V). The literature data show the possibility of utilization PMSA in indicating reaction with ferroin ([Fe(l,10-phenanthrolyne) ] ) which is accelerated by Mn(II) compounds. 

Data shown below refer to the use of diperoxysebacine acid (CH )gC03H (DPSA) and peroxymonosulphuric acid (PMSA). The rate of RP... 

The danger of this reaction depends on the order in which the reagents are introduced. If acid is introduced into the alcohol/peroxide mixture, there can be detonation especially when the medium is heterogeneous. It is assumed that the danger of the reaction is linked to the formation of peroxymonosulphuric acid, which has such an oxidising property that it can react with all organic compounds ... 

The same happens with peroxymonosulphuric acid (H2SO5). 

Acetone was accidentally introduced into a reactor containing a sulphuric acid/nitric acid/hydrogen peroxide mixture. This led to an explosion due to acetone oxidation by the peroxymonosulphuric acid formed by the oxidising mixture. 

When alkanes come into contact with peroxymonosulphuric or peroxydisuiphuric acid, this leads to a slow chaning. With benzene the detonation is immediate.
