Oxidant stability and safety issues


Easy to decompose: Many oxidants are easy to decompose when heated, damp, exposed to light or in contact with other substances, generating heat, gas and even causing an explosion. For example, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid, etc. will spontaneously decompose under certain conditions, release oxygen, and increase the risk of explosion.
Explosive: some oxidants such as chlorates, nitrates and organic peroxides, etc., after friction, impact, vibration, etc., can easily cause explosion. Therefore, special care is required during storage, transportation and use.
Toxicity and corrosiveness: Some oxidants such as bromine pentafluoride are toxic and pose a threat to human health. At the same time, they may also be corrosive to materials such as metals and damage equipment or containers.
