Molecular Formula:l2
Reputed to be life element and wisdom element, iodine
is the essential element for human body, animal and plant. It
is also the raw material in synthesizing organic and inorganic
iodine compound and excellent catalyst in many chemical reactions.
Iodine products are widely used in food industry, pharmaceutical,
industry, agriculture, national defense sophisticated technique
and many other fields.
In pharmaceutical industry, iodine has strong function
of antisepsis and disinfection. It can oxidize active gene
of bacterial cell's protein, combine the amino-group of protein
and make it denaturalized and can kill the bacteria, epiphyte
and virus etc. It is usually used to produce bactericide,
disinfector, sedative, hypnotics, etc.
In agriculture, iodine is the raw material of pesticide.
It has excellent effect on killing bacteria in the ground.
Spraying vegetables, fruits and crops with iodine solution
(1:20000) can prevent from plant diseases and insect pests,
promote growth and reach high yield.
In food industry, potassium iodate can used be the main
additive in iodized salt and also improve the quality of bread.
In industry, iodine is the essential component in synthesizing
organic dyestuff and it can be used as the tar fuel in titanium
production. In metallurgical industry, iodine can refine high
purity metal. In lighting industry, tungsten-iodine lamps
own strong luminosity and save electric energy. In sophisticated
industry, iodine organic compound is additive of rocket fuel.
