[edit] Impurity levels
One gram seems an awful lot of chlorate to test for detonation! One-tenth of a gram (roughly the point of a spatula) seems safer: this is still enough to seem detonation, but not sufficient for the explosion to be too harmful... Physchim62 (talk) 09:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Catalyst vs. Oxidizer
I changed oxidizer to catalyst when describing the role of manganese dioxide in the decomposition of potassium chlorate. --71.227.190.111 22:43, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welding
Perhaps some information shlould be added in regards to potassium chlorate's welding applications. Solidox, etc.
[edit] Chlorates with Sulfur
The first rule about fireworks is never mix sulfur compounds with chlorates. They avoid this like the plague. You aren't even suppost to use certain gums as binders because of the fact there are small traces of sulfur. Since this process can produce small ammounts of acid and also the sulfur may contain a very light ammount of acid.
