WHAT DOES PERCHLORATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Perchlorate

Perchlorates are the salts derived from perchloric acid—in particular when referencing the polyatomic anions found in solution, perchlorate is often written with the formula ClO4−. Perchlorates are often produced by natural processes but can also be produced artificially. They are used extensively within the pyrotechnics industry, and ammonium perchlorate is also a component of solid rocket fuel. Lithium perchlorate, which decomposes exothermically to produce oxygen, is used in oxygen "candles" on spacecraft, submarines, and in other situations where a reliable backup oxygen supply is needed. For example, oxygen "candles" are used in commercial aircraft during emergency situations to compensate for oxygen insufficiency. Most perchlorates are soluble in water, except for potassium perchlorate which has the lowest solubility of any alkali metal perchlorate. Perchlorate contamination in the environment has been extensively studied as it has effects on human health. Perchlorate has been linked to its negative influence on the thyroid.

Definition of perchlorate in the English dictionary
