- Potassium iodate is a mildly oxidizing
salt of potassium cations and iodate anions. This product is
suitable for use in all applications where a source of iodine is
needed in an oxidizing state.
- Appropriate uses include as an
oxidization source or catalyst in chemical reactions. Ideal for use
in all applications where potassium iodate is needed as an
ingredient as a dietary iodine source or in the
manufacture of food products.
- Potassium iodate is a chemical
compound and it is sometimes used in radiation treatment, as it can
replace radioactive iodine from the thyroid and used in iodization
of edible salts. Potassium iodate is an oxidizing agent.
- Lack of iodine intake may result in a
number of health problems, generally, termed as "iodine deficiency
disorders".
- Iodisation of salt is a simple
technology and it involves homogenous mixing of potassium iodate in
small quantities to edible salt.' The iodised salt looks, smells and
tastes exactly like ordinary salt. In
India, roughly more than 5 million tonnes of edible salt is produced
and the demand for potassium iodate is around 250 tonnes per annum.
- In process for Production of Potassium
Iodate, iodine is dissolved in potassium hydroxide and the potassium
iodide so obtained is electrochemically oxidized in an flow cell at
current density of
10 A/dm2 and temperature of 40oC. At the end of the electrolysis the
electrolyte, the electrolyte is cooled when potassium iodate is
obtained. After filtration the electrolyte is recycled to the cell
feed.
- Major application of potassium iodate
is in the manufacture of iodised salt and to some extent potassium
iodate is used in the pharmaceutical industry
- 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 may be used to
protect against accumulation of radioactive iodine in the thyroid by
saturating the body with a stable source of iodine prior to exposure
- Accidental poisoning by potassium
iodate at doses of 187–470 mg/kg body weight through the oral route
caused nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and marked loss of visual acuity.
- The major raw materials required for
the manufacture of potassium iodate are iodine and potassium
hydroxide
- The Investment required for producing
30 MT of Potassium Iodate per annum will be about INR Two Crores
