kclo3 a new procedure (it cant be right)
I have red on msds sheets that at 212 f kcl partly decomposes I don’t thick it is true but I have red it many times so if you were to boil it in
water wouldn’t it make kclo3 or may be just kocl

potassium hypochlorite seems like it would have a bleach smell to it, why not try boiling some KCl down and see if you notice any smells.

an easier way would be to pass chlorine through boiling KOH solution

You mean it would be easier getting chlorine gas then boiling kcl in water
Exsplain how

The MSDS probably took that information out of a buisness product sheet. Buisness oftens states that their products might decompose at such and such
temperature so that if you are crazy enough to heat the stuff to say, 200°C, and it decomposes, you can't blame them.
The melting point of KCl is 772-776°C. If it can be mesured, then I assume it's stable up to theses temperatures.. which means no easy KClO3..
Your theory is crazy, but it\'s not crazy enough to be true. - Niels Bohr

They may have been referring that it was in water like al2cl3 they say that decomposes at 212f in water to form al2o3 and hcl but most of the msds
sheets do not say it has to be in water but still decompose in to al2o3

kclo4, what are you on about?
Al2Cl3 doesn't exist. Al2O3?
Can you please make an effort with your spelling. It's atrocious, and the shift key with your chemical formulas helps too.
Other people are helping you here, so the least we can expect from you is some effort with your posts.
PS KCl in water/on its own won't form KOCl or anything, no, it is completely stable. What would possibly cause the oxidation of the chlorine?
You'd need electrolysis, or Cl2 in KOH, as someone said above, and both have been covered ad nauseam.
