Potassium iodate, KIO3 (CAS 7758-05-6), is a white crystalline powder and an oxidising agent.
Its largest use is iodising table salt, where it is preferred to potassium iodide in hot, humid climates because it is more stable. It is also a primary standard in iodometric titration (it liberates a known amount of iodine from iodide in acid), a source of iodine in animal feed, and a laboratory reagent.
It is classed as an oxidising solid (UN class 5.1). Keep it away from combustible materials and reducing agents.
We keep stock at our Barka warehouse and deliver across Oman, including Muscat, Sohar, Salalah and Duqm. Send the quantity and pack size you need and we will quote.
Potassium Iodate (KIO3) may be used as an oxidizing agent in the estimation of hydrolyzable tannins (gallotannins and ellagitannins) in plant samples. It may also be used in the preparation of polyaniline,poly(o-anisidine),poly[aniline-co-(o-anisidine) and TiO2 nanoparticles.
Potassium Iodate also used for Iodization of edible salt
Salt can be iodised with either iodide or iodate, usually as the potassium salt. Iodate is less soluble and more stable than iodide, so it is preferred in hot, humid climates.
Potassium iodide (KI) contains about 76% iodine and potassium iodate (KIO3) about 59% iodine. Work out the dose from the iodine level your national salt standard requires, not from the weight of salt added.
Formula: KIO3. Molecular weight: 214.0.
