In other countries, potassium iodate is used as a source for dietary iodine.

Potassium iodate is used to add iodine to salt.

Salt is iodized by adding the chemical potassium iodate to it.

For example, iodine in the form of potassium iodate is used to produce iodised salt.

The action of the hydrogen peroxide is exactly that: to oxidate the potassium iodate.

It makes potassium iodate and oxygen when heated.

Potassium iodate is sometimes used for iodination of table salt to prevent iodine deficiency.

Edible salt can be iodised by spraying it with a potassium iodate solution.

Each ton of salt needs about two ounces of potassium iodate, which costs about $1.15.

The $15,000 tank and sprayer were donated by Unicef, which also used to supply the potassium iodate.

Potassium iodate is a white solid.

Iodates like potassium iodate are colorless solids similar to chlorates.

The government of Ireland also, following the September 11 attacks, issued potassium iodate tablets to all households.

Potassium iodate is an oxidizing agent and as such it can cause fires if in contact with combustible materials or reducing agents.

Like potassium bromate, potassium iodate is occasionally used as a maturing agent in baking.

Iodic acid can be used to synthesize sodium or potassium iodate for increasing iodine content of salt.

Most dramatically, 500 of them were issued with potassium iodate tablets to counter the effects of radioactive iodine.

The nearest school to the power station, in the village of Stogursey, was even allocated its own supply of potassium iodate tablets.

Potassium iodate (KIO) is a chemical compound.

Potassium iodate is used to add iodine to some salts so that the iodine is not lost by oxidation.

Potassium iodate, like potassium iodide, has been issued as a prophylaxis against radioiodine absorption in some countries.

Standard iodine solution is prepared from potassium iodate and potassium iodide, which are both primary standards):

Eating potassium iodate makes the thyroid full of nonradioactive iodine and prevents radioactive iodine from going in.

On heating (especially with manganese(IV) oxide as catalyst), it decomposes to form potassium iodate, releasing oxygen gas.

In another series of studies the powerful reagent obtained by using a mixture of iodine and potassium iodate dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid was used.
