industrial iodine

Iodine is the basic material in synthesizing organic of inorganic iodide, and is the essential element for human body, animal of pla
nt. Widely used in pharmaceutical, agricultural, dyestuff, metallurgical, rubber synthesizing, national defense, high-tech industry etc.

1. Iodine has strong germicidal and disinfection effect, mainly used in medical Tincture of iodine£ » 5£ ¥ -10£ ¥ concentration of
iodine dissolved in alcohol£ » Iodine solution of potassium iodide dissolved in water, used in
remedy for wound, costalitis, tonsilitis, chronic arthritis, fracture etc. Also used in finger disinfection by surgical workers, goiter, art
eriosclerosis, chronic intoxication, sleeping medicine, substitute in dehumidifying plasm etc.Potassium iodide, sodium iodide and
compound iodine solution can be used to cure goitre, preparation prior to hyper-thyroidism operation. Due to the less effect of pot
assium iodide for heart, it can also be used in remedy for heavy metal poisoning, tertiary great pox.Iodine has special resistance
against radioelement, thus oil iodide can be contrast agent of X light. Iodine is also the antidotal agent for radiation.

2. Agriculturally, iodine is the material for pesticide.4-iodinephenoxy acetic acid can stimulate the growth of crops remarkably.
Vegetables, fruits and crops sprayed with iodine solution( 1 of 20000) can be prevented from worm-eaten, can grow rapidly with
higher yield.Silver iodide is used as the atomizing agent in artificial rain.

3. In dyestuff industry, iodine is the material to synthesize organic dyestuffs.Such as tar dye of phthalein and pigment of cyanine.
Common dye: ingredients with iodine: diiodofluorescein, erythrosine, diiodoeosin, rose bengale, cyanine

4. In lighting industry
Tungsten-iodine lamps made from iodine give strong light. Ingium iodide and thallium iodide are used to make colorful light lamps.

5. In food industrySodium iodate can improve the quality of bread, potassium iodate can be additive in salt. Iodalbin added in
feedstuffs can prevent against various diseases.
