METHOD FOR PRODUCING POTASSIUM OXONATE

摘要

A method for producing potassium oxonate which comprises dissolving allantoin in an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution or an aqueous potassium carbonate solution, and oxidizing said allantoin with an alkali metal hypohalogenite in the presence of potassium iodide is provided and, according to the method, potassium oxonate can be efficiently produced without requiring a manganese compound which may entail environmental pollution.
