Information on Sodium Iodide Sodium Iodide is a derivative of Iodine. Sodium Iodide is a White Crystalline Powder with a Melting point of 661oC. Sodium Iodide is freely soluble in water. Sodium Iodide is hygroscopic in nature. It should be stored in tightly closed containers in a Room Temperature. Synthesis / Manufacturing Process of Iodides The major raw material of all the Iodides is Elemental Iodine. Iodine was first discovered in 1811 in France. Iodine is a non-metallic element of Halogen Group of products, having Melting Point 114oC. Iodine is found in Caliche, which is a sedimentary rock, hardened with the deposits of Calcium Carbonate (which is mainly found in Chile) & also in the brine extracted along with the natural gas (especially found in Japan & USA). Sodium Iodide is manufactured by taking a reaction between Iodine (I2) & Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH). |
