Sodium iodate

Iodine occurs to a minute extent (less than 0.001 %) in sea water, but is found in greater concentration, combined in organic form, in certain seaweeds, in oysters and in cod livers. Crude Chile saltpetre, or caliche contains small amounts of sodium iodate, NalOj. from which iodine can be obtained (see below). Some insoluble iodides, for example liiose of silver and mercury(II), occur in Mexico. Iodine is found in the human body in the compound thyroxin in the thyroid gland deficiency of iodine in diet causes enlargement of this gland (goitre). 

Most iodine produced commercially comes from the sodium iodate(V) remaining after sodium nitrate has been crystallised from Chile saltpetre. The iodatefV) is first reduced to iodide by blowing sulphur dioxide into the solution (or by addition of sodium sulphite) ...

We examined the reaction of triose reductone with both periodate and iodate (55,56), and found that, whereas iodine was invariably set free from both sodium periodate and sodium iodate if the concentration of the reductone were greater than 10 3M, no iodine was liberated at lower concentrations (e.g. 6 x 10 4M) of substrate, even in the presence of relatively large amounts of the oxidants.

In the process of separating Pb2 ions from Cu2+ ions as sparingly soluble iodates, what is the Pb2+ concentration when Cu2+ just begins to precipitate as sodium iodate is added to a solution that is initially 0.0010 m Pb(N03)2(aq) and 0.0010 M Cu(N03)2(aq) ... 

The potential for violence of interaction between the powerful reducing agent potassium and oxidant classes has been well described. Other miscellaneous oxygen-containing substances which react violently or explosively include sodium iodate, silver iodate, lead sulfate and boric acid.

Mixtures of sodium with silver iodate or sodium iodate explode when initiated by shock. 

As depicted in the following scheme, in the presence of sodium iodate and pyridine, several 5,6-dihydroxylated benzofuran derivatives were synthesized via an oxidation-Michael addition of P-dicarbonyl compounds to catechols in a one-pot procedure <06TL2615 06JHC1673>. A novel additive Pummerer reaction of 2-benzo[fc]furan sulfilimines with carbon nucleophiles derived from P-dicarbonyl compounds was also employed to the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted benzo[b]furans <06TL595>. 

In order to shift the equilibrium to the right-hand-side (i.e., towards As205) in the above reaction, sodium bicarbonate (NaHC03) is employed to remove the HI generated. It is important to record here that neither sodium hydroxide nor sodium carbonate can be used as both of them produce sodium iodide (Nal) and sodium iodate (NaI03) as designated below ...

The procedure reported here is practical, uses readily available, non-toxic starting materials, and can be easily scaled up. No harmful by-products are formed during the synthesis, and sodium iodate, generated during the periodate cl avage, can be recycled into sodium metaperiodate.15... 

The white solid is mainly sodium iodate and sodium chloride. 

Chilean saltpeter [potassium nitrate (KNOj)] has a number of impurities, including sodium and calcium iodate. Iodine is separated from the impurities and, after being treated chemically, finally produces diatomic iodine. Today, iodine is mostly recovered from sodium iodate (NalO ) and sodium periodate (NalO ) obtained from Chile and Bohvia. 

Oxidation of an Fe" salt solution with air, urotropin, sodium iodate or sodium nitrate or with air in the presence of a complexing agent such as pyridine or sodium thiosulphate (Robl, 1958). 

Iodine is produced in large scale from Chilean nitrate. Iodine occurs in this mineral as sodium iodate, NalOs. The iodate extract of the mineral becomes more concentrated in iodate after sodium nitrate crystaUizes out. The mother liquor is then treated with sodium bisulfite solution to give sodium iodide ... 

Formerly all the iodine was made from the ash of seaweed, and potash was a remunerative appendix to the iodine industry but just as the Stassfurt salts killed those industries which extracted potash from other sources, so did the separation of iodine from the caliche mother-liquors threaten the industrial extraction of iodine from seaweed with extinction. Iodine in a very crude form was exported from Chili in 1874—e.g. a sample was reported with iodine 52-5 per cent. iodine chloride, 3-3 sodium iodate, 13 potassium and sodium nitrate and sulphate, 15 9 magnesium chloride, 0 4 insoluble matter, 1 5 water, 25-2 per cent. About that time much of the iodine was imported as cuprous iodide. This rendered necessary the purification of the Chilian product but now the iodine is purified in Chili before it is exported. The capacity of the Chilian nitre works for the extraction of iodine is greater than the world s demand. It is said that the existing Chilian factories could produce about 5100 tons of iodine per annum whereas the...
