Solution 1
Potassium permanganate can be made by the following methods:
It is produced industrially by the electrolytic oxidation of manganate (VI), followed by the alkaline oxidative fusion of MnO2.
\[\ce{MnO2 ->[Fused with KOH, oxidised with air or KNO3] \underset{manganate ion}{MnO^2-_4}}\]
\[\ce{\underset{manganate}{MnO^2-_4} ->[Electrolytic oxidation in alkaline solution] \underset{permanganate ion}{MnO^-_4}}\]
The chemical reactions of acidic potassium permanganate are as follows:
\[\ce{2MnO^-4 + 2H2O + 5SO2 -> 2Mn^2+ + 4H^+ + 5SO^2-_4}\]
Solution 2
\[\ce{2MnO2 + 4KOH + O2 ->[\Delta] 2K2MnO4 + 2H2O}\]
\[\ce{3MnO^2-_4 + 4H+ -> 2MnO^-_4 + MnO2 + 2H2O}\]
