Potassium iodate is white or colorless crystalline powder,colorless monoclinic crystal. Both KIO3.HIO3 and KIO3.2HIO3are colorless monoclinic crystal, odorless. It is soluble in the boiling water easily, and can be melted in water,dilute acid, ethanediamine, aminoethyl alcohol and Potassium iodide solution, but it is soluble in liquid sulphur dioxide and iquid sulphur dioxide slightly. Moreover, insoluble in alcohol and ammonia.
As strong oxidizer, it will be reduced and free the iodine when reacting with some reducing substances, such as hydrogen sulfide, hydriodic acid, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen etc. Potassium iodatesolution can be reduced to iodide by x- ray or alpha partical, and it will burn slightly suddenly if you put the solid Potassium iodate on red-hot charcoal. When mixed with combustible objects, it will explode if they collide each other. Potassium iodate can be oxidized to potassium periodate by some stronger oxidizing agent, such as chlorine and hypochloric acid In alkaline medium.
Potassium iodate is sometimes used for iodination of table salt to prevent iodine deficiency. Because iodide can be oxidized to iodine by molecular oxygen under wet conditions, US companies add thiosulfates or other antioxidants to the potassium iodide. In other countries, potassium iodate is used as a source for dietary iodine. It is also an ingredient in some baby formula milk.
Like potassium bromate, potassium iodate is occasionally used as a maturing agent in baking.
Potassium Iodate Functions
1.Properties:Colorless monoclinic crystal or white crystalline powder
2. Uses:Used in chemical analysis,feed additive, medicine.
The preparation of potassium iodate standard solution.Analysis of zinc, iodine, arsenic.Volumetric method analysis is used as the oxidant.
Used in chemical analysis, precipitating agent;Agriculture as feed additive;Medicine on the prevention and control of local goitre disease with iodine or potions, also can be used in organic synthesis.
Potassium iodate is widely used in salt iodization, using potassium iodate with iodine of the population will be considerably more than the use of potassium iodide.
Potassium iodate Uses
1. Oxidizer used recently to form 2-styrylchromones from o-hydroxy-ω-cinnamylideneacetophenones by oxidative cyclization.
2. Oxidizing agent in volumetric chemical analysis; as maturing agent and dough conditioner.
3. Potassium Iodate is a source of iodine made by reacting iodine with potassium hydroxide. it is a crystalline powder which is more stable than iodide. it has a solubility of 1 g in 15 ml of water. it is used as a fast-acting dough improver; it is used with potassium bromate as an oxidizing agent to modify the protein in bread flour which pro- motes loaf volume and shape. it is used in baked goods.
