Potassium Iodate is a potassium salt with several applications in chemical as well as analytical chemistry. It is widely used in the formulation of certain pharmaceutical compounds for its preventive use against radiation poisoning through thyroid protection. It is also utilized in the analysis of arsenic as well as zinc content in analytical chemistry. It is often involved in various iodometric analyses. The compound is also incorporated in the preparation of food products. It often serves as a maturing agent in dough conditioners in food processing units. Moreover, it is also utilized as a feed additive in the agricultural and livestock industries because of its iodine content. The compound is also utilized in the iodination of table salt on a large scale to prevent iodine deficiency.

The market for Potassium Iodate is predominantly led by its huge involvement in the chemical, food, and livestock industries, which contributes to its demand. Its application as a maturing agent in dough conditioners to strengthen the dough further enhances its demand in the food industry. Its huge involvement in the livestock industries, where it serves as a feed additive, largely promotes its market expansion. Its usage in the fortification of salt with iodine also propels its demand in the food industry. Furthermore, the availability of raw materials (iodine, etc.), cost and pricing, its applications in the chemical industry, good quality standards, sustainability practices, distribution, and logistics are the major factors that largely influence industrial Potassium Iodate procurement worldwide.

Raw Material for Potassium Iodate Production

According to the Potassium Iodate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Potassium Iodate production include Potassium Hydroxide-Iodine.

Manufacturing Process of Potassium Iodate

The extensive Potassium Iodate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Electrochemical Method: The electrochemical method of producing potassium iodate involves the use of potassium hydroxide and iodine as the raw materials. The process is initiated by dissolving iodine in potassium hydroxide to obtain potassium iodide, which is further electrolytically oxidized, followed by crystallization to synthesize potassium iodate as the final product.

Potassium Iodate is a white-colored oxidizing agent with a chemical formula KIO3. It comprises one potassium, one iodine, and three oxygen atoms. It is a white-colored crystalline chemical 214.001 g/mol. It is a monoclinic crystal with no odor. It can be dissolved in some of the chemical solvents, such as dilute sulfuric acid and potassium iodide. However, it is insoluble in alcohols and liquid ammonia. Its density is 3.98 g/cm3 at a standard temperature of 20 °C. It is a more stable compound compared to that of potassium iodide. It decomposes when heated at around 560 °C. Its reaction with silver nitrate forms silver iodate and potassium nitrate at the end.
