Manganese oxide potassium, manganese, Cherkassy region.

Potassium potassium, the potassium salt of manganous acid or colloquially - permanganate - is a powerful oxidizer and is a violet (practically black) crystal with a metallic tint, which, when dissolved in water, forms an antiseptic solution of varying color intensity (depending from the quantity of the substance from pale pink to deep crimson).
It is the oxidizing ability of potassium permanganate that provides the antiseptic and antimicrobial qualities of this salt. The disinfecting effect of potassium permanganate is due to the ability of the powder to oxidize various organic compounds, in the process of which oxygen is released. During the Great Patriotic War, potassium permanganate crystals were necessarily present in the paramedic bags of doctors, nurses, and paramedics. A solution of potassium permanganate was widely used for the treatment of wounds and the treatment of all kinds of injuries in hospitals.
