What are the functions of potassium persulfate tablets in aquaculture

update time:2023-11-27

1. The role of potassium persulfate tablets in aquaculture, the most widely used of which is commonly referred to as bottom modification. By dissolving potassium persulfate tablets in water and releasing sulfate free radicals, organic pollutants at the bottom of the pond are decomposed into water, carbon dioxide, and simple inorganic substances.

Eliminate the harm of harmful substances to aquatic animals and repair the black hair and foul smell phenomenon in sediment; At the same time, potassium persulfate can degrade the residual chloramine after the use of chlorine preparations, reducing toxic residues. It can be said that potassium hydrogen persulfate tablets are currently the best substrate improvement product and the main substrate improvement product promoted by mainstream manufacturers. They have great prospects in the breeding of benthic animals such as South American white shrimp, loaches, eels, yellow catfish, and crabs.

2. Potassium persulfate tablets have strong oxidizing properties, which can effectively oxidize organic matter in ponds, reduce harmful substances such as ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, and hydrogen sulfide in water, and improve pond water quality.   

3. Stabilize algal phase and improve water color.

4. Improve and remove the stickiness of the aquaculture pond water, oxidize and improve the compacted bottom of the pond. And potassium persulfate tablets can be used 24/7, unaffected by factors such as weather, temperature, organic matter, water quality, and pH value. Safe and efficient, non corrosive, and non irritating. It can be used in small quantities multiple times, and can also be used in larger quantities depending on specific circumstances. Not affected by organic matter or hard water.   

But it should also be noted that there are a large number of low-end composite potassium hydrogen persulfate particle based substrate improvement products on the market today, mainly using the principle of strong oxidation. However, this type of product contains a large amount of ineffective ingredients and carriers, with the main ingredients being potassium hydrogen persulfate composite salt, sodium sulfate powder, and binder, which are made into granules.

The principle of action is to sink to the bottom of the pond, dissolve in water and produce new ecological oxygen, which has a certain degree of oxidation-reduction effect, but only reacts with the bottom of the pond, wasting some of the benefits of water improvement. So when choosing, it is necessary to choose pure powder, high content, impurity free, and high-quality products.
