Nonferrous metal salts and oxides
Chemical product:
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.
