Potassium Perchlorate from Potassium Chlorate

So ive performed the reaction of porassium peroxymonosulfate
(Oxone) non chlorine bleach and formed this percipitate along with a chlorine smell to the reaction

What else could be used to oxidize potassium chlorate to perchlorate

Ive read that silver oxide supposedly works also

Supposedly hydrogen peroxide also works havnt found anyone trying to chemically oxidize chlorate

Thank you very much also shows it being made from potassium chlorate

I would prefer the anodic oxidation of conc. kClO3 solution This is easy. Hold the conc solution temp. betw. 30-40 C deg. during the process and use suitable anode. After the process cooling the solution in fridge, the perchlorate cristall will be falling like snowflake alow of dish. You get pure KClO4 by filtration.
