Parially just out of curiosity, but mostly because I need potassium perchlorate to use in a propellant. It's more stable than potassium chlorate and I don't want it exploding on me. lol

Hello All! I've been doing a lot of research recently on the synthesis of chlorates and perchlorates (specifically potassium). However, no where have I found a single comprehensive article on how the synthesis of potassium perchlorate is accomplished, and what the differences are between the production of the chlorate and the perchlorate. I know there is a lot of misinformation on the subject out there, and that many people make it more complicated than it needs to be. Therefore, I was hoping for some help on exactly how to produce potassium perchlorate and possible the why behind the different steps. I am looking for the EASIEST and QUICKEST way possible to produce it through electrolysis. Here are a few of the questions on my mind. Is the amount of amps you have running through your cell important the differences between producing chlorates and perchlorates? How well will a titanium anode work for producing perchlorate? I'm planning on using a 6v, 10amp battery for my cell. Will this work for perchlorate? Also, can any answers please be explained in simple terms with correct grammer? I've had trouble reading posts on this topic in the past because they've either used terms that are hard to understand or because they've used incorrect grammer. Thanks in advance for the help!
