Information on Potassium Iodide
Potassium Iodide is a derivative of Iodine. It is a white crystalline powder with a melting point of 681∘C. Potassium Iodide is freely soluble in water and should be stored in tightly closed containers at room temperature.
Synthesis / Manufacturing Process of Iodides
The major raw material for all Iodides is Elemental Iodine. Iodine was first discovered in France in 1811. Iodine is a non-metallic element of the Halogen Group with a melting point of 114∘C. It is found in Caliche, a sedimentary rock hardened with deposits of Calcium Carbonate (mainly in Chile), and also in the brine extracted with natural gas (especially in Japan & USA). Potassium Iodide is manufactured by a reaction between Iodine (I2) and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH).
