Where are the Areas of Use of Ammonium Persulphate?
In oil and natural gas drilling areas, cracks occur in rocks underground. In order to ensure that oil and natural gas emerge from these cracks underground, a liquid mixed with Ammonium Peroxydisulfate is used under high pressure. This event is called hydraulic fracturing.
It acts as an initiator of high molecular weight polymers.
The chemical in food grade form is used to change the mold of brewer's yeast obtained from wheat.
It is processed as a bleaching agent in the soap and oil industry.
It is used first as an abrasive and then as a cleaning agent in the production of printed circuit boards.
It is used as an etching agent in the production of printed circuit boards with rough surfaces. Here, Sulfuric Acid and Hydrochloric Acid are also used in the bath during the production process.
It is used as a hair bleaching agent in the cosmetics sector.
It has the ability to catalyze the polymerization of Acrylamide and Bisacrylamide to form Polyacrylamide gels in the electrophoresis event, which is defined as the migration of charged molecules to another area in the presence of electrical power.
