colorless or white cubic crystals. Odorless, with a strong bitter and salty taste. Relative density 3. 12. Melting point 680 °c. Boiling point 1420 °c. Deliquescence in moist air. In light and air can precipitate free iodine and yellow, more likely to yellow in acidic aqueous solution. Soluble in water, dissolved when significantly absorb heat, soluble in ethanol, acetone, methanol, glycerol and hydrogen, slightly soluble in ether. Potassium iodide aqueous solution is neutral or slightly alkaline.
formic acid reduction method: a technical grade iodine tablet is added to a reactor with stirring, water is added, and a potassium hydroxide solution having a relative density of about 1.3 is slowly added with stirring to complete the reaction. The reaction solution was purple-brown in color. When the pH value was 5~6, some potassium iodate crystals appeared in the container. The potassium iodate was reduced by slow addition of formic acid to the solution. The solution after the reduction of formic acid is added with caustic potash, and the pH value is adjusted to 9 to 10. The steam is introduced and kept for 1-2H. The mixture was allowed to stand and insoluble matter was removed by filtration to obtain a clear filtrate, which was concentrated by evaporation until most of the crystals were precipitated. The crystals were cooled, crystallized and centrifuged, and dried at 110 ° C. To obtain a finished potassium iodide product.
potassium iodide is often used as a corrosion inhibitor for steel pickling or as a synergist for other corrosion inhibitors. Potassium iodide is the raw material for the preparation of each iodide and dye. Used as photographic emulsifier, food additives, used in medicine as expectorants, diuretics, prevention and treatment of goiter and hyperthyroidism before surgery with drugs, also used as analytical reagents.
