Information on Ammonium Iodide Ammonium Iodide is a derivative of Iodine. Ammonium Iodide is a White Crystalline Powder with a Melting point of 551oC. Ammonium Iodide is freely soluble in water. Ammonium Iodide gradually turns yellow in colour if kept in open for long due to decomposition with the liberation of Iodine. 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). Ammonium Iodide is manufactured by taking a reaction between Ammonia & Hydriodic Acid. |
