Zinc iodide is an inorganic compound that belongs to the class of inorganic salts and is majorly associated with the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. It is utilized as a catalyst in different chemical reactions, including Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reaction that synthesizes its derivatives, including benzyl iodide, iodoanisole, etc. It is used as an emulsion in photography and can also be used as a scintillator in radiographic imaging, such as X-ray screens. It helps in converting X-ray photons into visible light and enables to capture of the details in the X-ray. It is used as a component in certain nuclear medicines in the pharmaceutical industry. Also, it is used as a source of iodine in the production of certain dyestuffs and pigments.

Industrial Zinc iodide procurement is influenced by its demand as a zinc salt in the dyestuff, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Its growing demand in the pharmaceutical sector, particularly for imaging and diagnostic applications contributes to its market. The expansion of the electronics industry, where zinc iodide is utilized in semiconductors and batteries, further fuels its market growth. It is also useful in agriculture due to its benefits as a micronutrient that enhances crop yields and health. Also, increasing awareness of the health benefits associated with zinc has led to a rise in demand for zinc iodide supplements. Altogether, these elements contribute to industrial Zinc Iodide procurement across various industries.

Raw Material for Zinc Iodide Production

According to the Zinc Iodide manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Zinc Iodide include Zinc Metal-Iodine-Ethanol or Diethyl Ether.

Manufacturing Process of Zinc Iodide

The extensive Zinc Iodide production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Zinc Metal, Iodine, and Ethanol, or Diethyl Ether: The manufacturing process of Zinc Iodide involves a reaction of zinc metal with an iodine solution. In this process, iodine is dissolved in a solvent such as ethanol or diethyl ether. The mixture is then heated to evaporate the solvent forming zinc iodide as the final product.

Zinc Iodide is a white crystalline compound with the chemical formula ZnI2. It is an inorganic compound comprising one zinc and two iodine atoms. Its molecular weight is 319.2 g/mol, and its density is 4.74 g/cm³ at approximately 25 °C. It has a strong saline taste with a melting point of 446 °C and a boiling point of 1,150 °C. It is a light and air-sensitive crystalline solid chemical that turns brown when exposed. It is a hygroscopic crystalline solid that can be dissolved in water. Similarly, it can also be dissolved in other chemical solvents such as glycerol and is highly soluble in ethyl alcohol. It can also be dissolved in ether and alkalis. It remains stable under normal conditions while decomposing on heating and turns brown while releasing iodine gases in the air.
