Potassium iodate (KIO3) is an ionic chemical compound consisting of K+ ions and IO3− ions in a 1:1 ratio. It can be prepared by reacting potassium base with iodic acid. Potassium iodate is the major chemical compound used for the iodization of edible common salts. It provides a convenient way of performing iodometric work. Potassium iodate is also sometimes used to precipitate thorium especially to remove it from the rare earth.
Potassium iodate (KIO3) Applications
Potassium iodate is sometimes used for the iodination of table salt to prevent iodine deficiency. Because iodide can be oxidized to iodine by molecular oxygen under wet conditions, US companies add thiosulfates or other antioxidants to the potassium iodide. In other countries, potassium iodate is used as a source of dietary iodine. It is also an ingredient in some baby formula milk.
Like potassium bromate, potassium iodate is occasionally used as a maturing agent in baking.
