Common oxidizers used are potassium perchlorate and potassium nitrate. The oxidizer is a mixture of 85% 200-mesh ammonium nitrate and 15% ammonium perchlorate. Martian soil is toxic, due to relatively high concentrations of perchlorate compounds containing chlorine. These elements burn in the presence of air (O2) or oxidants (perchlorate, chlorate). Inhibition of this step requires competitive inhibitors such as perchlorate and thiocyanate. Inhibition of this step requires competitive inhibitors, such as perchlorate and thiocyanate. The highly valued ammonium perchlorate can be produced electrochemically. This application exploits the similar ionic radius and hydrophilicity of perchlorate and iodide. For a reverse hybrid, oxidizers such as frozen oxygen and ammonium perchlorate are used. Other explosives used in primers can include lead azide, potassium perchlorate, or diazodinitrophenol (DDNP). The compound is noteworthy as the most water-soluble of the common perchlorate salts. It uses canisters of solid lithium perchlorate, which are burned to create gaseous oxygen. Permanganate(VII) is a strong oxidizer, and similar to perchlorate. This method is used to prepare sodium perchlorate. A perchlorate is a chemical compound containing the perchlorate ion, .
