Description

white crystals or powder


Potassium iodate is an iodine-rich salt with the formula KIO3. In hot and humid climates, iodine vapor is hydrolyzed due to the hygroscopicity of potassium iodide. Compared to potassium iodide, potassium iodate is more stable and has a longer shelf life. It is a potent blocker of radioactive iodine uptake by the thyroid gland.


Colorless monoclinic crystal or white crystalline powder. Odorless. Soluble in water, dilute acid, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, and potassium iodide aqueous solutions; slightly soluble in liquid sulfur dioxide; insoluble in alcohols and ammonia.


A white solid formed either by adding iodine to a hot concentrated solution of potassium hydroxide or by the electrolysis of potassium iodide solution. No hydrates are known. It is a source of iodide and iodic acid. When treated with a dilute acid and a reducing agent, the iodate ions are reduced to iodine.


KIO3can be used as a substitute of KI in radiation protection. A kinetic study of thermal degradation of KIO3by γ-rays suggests that rate of decomposition increases while activation energy decreases upon irradiation.

Potassium iodate Use and Manufacturing

Uses

Potassium iodate (KIO3) is a chemical compound. It is ionic, made up of K+ ions and IO3− ions in a 1:1 ratio.


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.


Oxidizer used recently to form 2-styrylchromones from o-hydroxy-ω-cinnamylideneacetophenones by oxidative cyclization.1


Oxidizing agent in volumetric chemical analysis; as maturing agent and dough conditioner.

Production

Potassium iodate is formed (1) by electrolysis of potassium iodide under proper conditions, (2) by reaction of iodine and potassium hydroxide solution, and the fractional crystallization of iodate from iodide. Used as a source of iodate and iodic acid.

Drug Function and Efficacy

Participates in the formation of thyroid hormone. Animal experimental research results show that it has a certain effect on brain cell development disorders caused by iodine deficiency.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
