Abstract
Samples of purified potassium perchlorate were decomposed at various constant pressures of air or oxygen and at various constant temperatures from 555 to 590 deg C. A number of differential thermal analyses of potassium chlorate was made in which the runs were stopped at various temperatures ranging from 330 to about 600 deg C. The purpose of these studies was to establish a record of the thermal behavior throughout the range from room temperature to 600 deg C and to determine the relative amounts of products formed at various stages of decomposition.
