Women used Potassium permanganate to abort a baby
A old drugstore owner that I know, used to sell Potassium permanganate to women that wanted to abort an unwanted baby. They dissolved the Potassium
permanganate in water, and with this solution they performed a vaginal rince. Not only the featus was murderd in this way, but these foolish women
also became infertill if they where unlucky. The vaginal damage, was often irreversible. But remember, this was done a long time ago in Holland in a
periode that it was unheard of, if a women became pregnant before marriage. They were treated as whores, and band from there villages, for they were a
shame to the family and community. Prostitutes used the same procedure for an abortion.  Things have changed since, for many women have children and are not married. They are not looked down on anymore.

If you drop a drip of glycerine on a small pile of fine Potassium permanganate, they will spontaneously ignite after a short delay periode.
Caution: At a low temperature, this may take a long time to occure, so don't make the mistake of thinking that nothing will
happen, and throw it away in the trashcan (rubishbin). They will eventually ignite !!!

I believe this is the equation for the reaction between potassium permanganate and glycerine:
14KMnO4 + 4C3H5(OH)3 ==> 7K2CO3 + 7Mn2O3 + 5CO2 + 16H2O
I believe Mn2O3 is the toxic fumes saps is talking about.

How likely is it that all 18 molecules of reactants in that equation will get together in the right proportions?
The fumes are likely to contain acrolein (formed from hot glycerine) among other compounds.

It would probably be a multi-step reaction.

It would definatly be multi step...Any reaction that involves more than 4 molecules colliding is nearly statistically imposible.

I believe that finely divided metal can float in the air even at modest temps. Particle size determines how dangerous they are. Inhaling such
particles causes a fever. Different names apply (silicosis, smoke inhalation, welder's fever, etc) depending on what material has been inhaled.
If this is true it probably isnt a good idea to heat potasium permangate without a mask...But do you think tyhat prolonged exposure to potasium
permanganate and Glyceron reaction could be harmful.
Also: this is kind of off subject but does anybody else know of any chemical reactions that create spontaneous heat/flames?

Uh, any reaction that has a positive enthalpy, thus releasing heat.
If you mean reactions that start at room temperature, mineral acids and reactive metals (iron, zinc, aluminum, etc.) work. Very reactive metals
(magnesium, calcium, sodium, etc.) react with water at room temperature, some (sodium, potassium..) fast enough to ignite the nascent hydrogen
produced. Hydrogen and oxygen ignite over a platinum catalyst. Sulfuric acid can be dropped on a sugar + chlorate mixture to ignite it. What else?

Oh boy, don't hijack that thread for some shitty oxidiser /reductant questions please.
There are so many it'd be worth 100 threads.
I am very much tempted to close this thread, it started off well but now it's veering off into a random 'what burns' and 'what
doesn't' thread.
Saps, take a break, search the forums and then come back!

Reducing agents
I'm playing around with kmno4 and its exothermic abillities to oxidize materials. right now i am oxidizing glyceron. what other reduction agents
will oxidize as well as glyceron?

oxidation reactions
First off some of the properties of the glycerin you're trying to oxidise........
http://www.sy-kogyo.co.jp/english/sei/1_gly.html
second ,
A dramatic, yet safe demonstration of an exothermic reaction and the strong oxidizing properties of potassium permanganate. Students will observe
smoke and fire as glycerine is oxidized to produce carbon dioxide and water. A great amount of heat is liberated by this oxidation-reduction reaction.
here ia a list of incompatibles.....such as this
potassium permanganate: incompatible with,( ethylene glycol, glycerin, benzaldehyde, sulfuric acid )
found here......
http://chemistry.allinfoabout.com/features/incompatible.html
ans here is a link in this forum of what else can be done with Potassium Permanganate....
https://sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=4251
which is probably where you should have started once searching for it with the search engine.....instead of starting a new thread......maybe the
thread can be merged there........oh well I hope the information will assist you .................solo

PROPYLENE GLYCOL
would PROPYLENE GLYCOL work as well as ethylene glycol

No it is CH3-CH2OH-CH2OH. Usually.
And yes, it is likely to work, too.
Like many others. Did you read solo's post, and did you check KMnO4 MSDS's to find incompatibles? Any liquid alcohol, or generally liquid
org. chems with reactive oxidisable groups are likely to work with it.

Ah, okay. So decylene glycol would be CH3(CH2)8CHOHCH2OH? I take it the OH have to be adjecent, otherwise it's a regular diol?

Making Nitric acid with Potassium permanganate, Ammonia gas and recycling the process with Air (Oxygen) ???
I have forgotten the title of this book, but I think it was written by Robert Gatling. The Paladine Press once published it, and I have the book. When
I find it, a scan will be made.
What doese the author of this book claime ?:
According to the author of this book, Nitric acid can be made by bubbling Ammonia gas through a solution of Potassium permanganate. The Ammonia gas is
oxidized to Nitric acid in this way. Potassium permanganate may again be obtained by bubbling Air (Oxygen) through this solution (?). And thus, the
whole process may be repeated, by only applying Ammonia gas, and again recycling with Air. A continuos process, may thus be astablished for the
production of Nitric Acid.
Do you think that this process is feasible ?

We can't really judge the process without some sense of the reactions that take place. Can you give us some more background?

Sounds like, ahh, let's see here. Well Mn could go from +7 to +6 (only stable in base), +4 (MnO2 ppt) or +2 (Mn2+ ion) depending on maybe pH and
reactants.
I'm guessing e.g.
6KMnO4 + 4NH3 = 6KMnO2 + 4NO3- + 6H2O, which ends up basic, ready for MnO4- regeneration with O2.
It could work. How long can you go until the acidity kills it and forms Mn(NO3)2 or such?

Neutrino, I don't have this book at hand. But what I can say, is that the information that I have given above, is about all that was mentioned in
this book.
