Calcium iodide Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The heating dehydration method heats and dehydrates hexahydrate crystalline calcium iodide in a stream of dry nitrogen, then rapidly cools and pulverizes to obtain anhydrous calcium iodide. Cal2·6H2O[△]→Cal2+6H2O

Uses

Mainly used in medicine, as a substitute for potassium iodide; photographs are used as photosensitive emulsion; can also be used as a mineral water, fire extinguishing agent, hydrogen iodide desiccant and analytical reagents.
