John LeRoy Cleasby, E. Robert Baumann, C. D. Black

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of potassium permanganate as a disinfectant for the common enteric bacteria. Escherichia coli was the test organism species. The effectiveness of various concentrations of potassium permanganate was observed at two temperatures and at three pH levels. Selected variables include the levels common to water treatment practice.
