Iodine is one of the rarest non-metallic elements and is not naturally found in the liberal state but combined to other elements, it is present in rocks, soil and water and is essential for plants and animals. Iodine occurs in the form of brown-black granules or flakes with a metallic shine and has a very distinctive odour. Iodine vapours cause inflammation to mucous membranes and, depending on the concentration, may cause lacrimation, conjunctivitis, and inflammation of the respiratory system. In medicine, iodine is used to treat thyroid disorders or in ointments as an anti-septic and parasiticide. In Italy, Todini distributes Iodine and its simple salts in the animal husbandry, agricultural, pharmaceutical and industrial sectors.

iodine

In nature, iodine is found in many rocks, in the soil and water; it is a vital element for vegetables and animals. It is interesting to note that sea water contains 0.025mg to 0.05 mg of iodine per litre. Iodine comes in brown-black flakes with a distinctive odour and brilliance; it is not very soluble in water and dissolves rather well in alkaline iodide solutions. The most important use of iodine is in medicine for treating thyroid disorders and as an antiseptic and parasiticide. It is interesting to note that iodine vapours cause irritation to the mucous membranes leading to conjunctivitis and inflammation of the respiratory system.

potassium iodate

Potassium iodate is a colourless and odourless crystal; it is soluble in water and in diluted sulphuric acid, while it is not soluble in ethyl alcohol. Potassium iodate on contact with flames turns a typical purplish colour indicating the presence of potassium; it is mainly used as a reagent and as an oxidant or in the chemical industry for determining zinc and arsenic.

potassium iodide

Potassium iodide occurs as a crystal or powder; following long exposure to air it turns yellow, giving off iodine. Potassium iodide is soluble in water, ethyl alcohol and methanol; it is mainly used as a reactive in analytical chemistry, and as an expectorant and to treat tuberculosis in medicine.

potassium iodide acs

Potassium iodide occurs as cube shaped crystals or as a powder; after long-term exposure to the air, it turns yellow and gives off iodine. Potassium iodide is soluble in water, ethyl alcohol and methanol; it is essentially used as a reactive in analytical chemistry, in medicine as an expectorant and to cure tuberculosis.

sodium iodide

Sodium iodide occurs as cubic crystals or as a crystalline powder that turn yellow on exposure to air or light following the development of iodine. Sodium iodide is very soluble in water and also in many organic solvents like aliphatic alcohols or benzyl alcohol and glycerine; it turns a typical yellow colour when it comes into contact with fire. Sodium iodide is fundamental in medicine to treat thyroid disorders; it is well tolerated and not very irritating to the stomach.
