Iodine
(Tincture) FAQ

I need someone to write an Iodine tincture FAQ, as I have very little on that
subject on my page, and everybody and their uncle are asking me about it in
PM and email...
Suggested Contents:
* All common oxidizers which can oxidize iodide to iodine + Reaction schemes
(and warn people of adding BOTH bleach and peroxide to the same solution as
some people seems to do, chlorine gas may be produced, and possibly other
nasty things).
* A list of the types of tinctures available (aqueous, alcoholic, 1%, 10%,
lugol's solution etc), and the best way of dealing with each of them.
* Typical yields.
* Storage, purification and drying of iodine.

Since nobody writes here anything useful,i try to come up with something.
Oxidisers used with tinctures:H2O2,NaOCl
Reactions shemes:
With H2O2: 2KI+2HCl+H2O2-->I2+2KCl+2H2O
With NaOCl:NaOCl+2HCl+2KI-->NaCl+2KCl+H2O+I2
Some of of H2O2 or NaOCl is used to form I2 from iodide:
2I+H2O2+2HCl-->I2+2H2O+Cl2
2I+NaOCl+2HCl-->I2+NaCl+H20+Cl2
NaCl and KCl go to water that is added before reaction.
Tinctures contain equal amounts of iodine salt and iodide
Tinctures:
1%-Not worth trying
2%-Shitty one but will do.
5%-Getting better
7%-Good for extracting
12%-Real gold for Swims,usually not available in stores and pharmacies,need
licence to get that.
Theoretical yield of I2 from KI is ~76 % and theoretical yeild of I2 from I
is 100%.
Iodine sublimes within few days when left on table.Also direct sunlight helps
subliming.Must be kept in closed container and in dark.Good way to dry iodine
is to lay it on newspaper or on toilet paper.Paper will suck liquid out
iodine.When iodine is really wet then one must change paper few times.
Dealing with tinctures:
Ratio of H2O2/KI is 2 moles of H2O2 per 4 moles of KI teoretically.Also we
need H2O2 to oxidise I to I2,that's 2 moles of H2O2 per 4 moles of
iodine.Ratio of KI/H2O2 is 68 grams of H2O2 per 664 grams of I2.Since KI/I
ratio in tincture is 50/50 we must use H2O2 to oxidise I too.That would be 2
moles of H2O2 per 4 moles of I.Thats 68 grams H2O2 per 508 grams of I.
Dream:
We have 2% tincture.
1 gram of KI and 1 gram of I.H2O2 needed is then 0,133 + 0,1=0,233 grams of
H2O2.Since we use 3% H2O2 then we would need 7,689 grams of 3% H2O2 per 100
grams of 2% percent tincture.
Now with 7% percent we must use 3,5 as much as with 2% so that's 26,9115
grams per 100 gram of tincture.
That's so only in theory.
Practically i use 2 times as much H2O2 as in theory to ensure
fast and full conversion.
OK Rhodium please check if formulas and calculations here are right and if
they are,i may add some calculations with NaOCl too.

There is a consistent molar ratio of I2 to KI in all the
commercial tinctures? Much easier to calculate with.
Your first scheme (with peroxide) is a bit off, you can divide all the
figures with 2, and also separating the reaction in two steps, first the
acidification and next the oxidation makes it easier to follow:
2 KI + 2 HCl -> 2 HI + 2 KCl
2 HI + H2O2 -> I2 + 2 H2O
Your rating of the different tincture strenghths, is that due to the lower
concentrations not being cost-effective, or is it hard to isolate the formed
iodine from such a large amount of water? The aqueous solubility of Iodine
only 300mg per liter, but if there is alcohol in the tincture, the solubility
will of course increase.
Is there more or less alcohol in different brands? Are there any alcohol-free
tinctures sold? What is the typical alcohol percentage in the solutions?
Theoretical
yield of I2 from KI is ~76 % and theoretical yeild of I2
from I is 100%.
With this you are referring to the non-scientific term "weight
yield", right?
I was more like wondering how much iodine you actually isolate in the end,
not how much is theoretically possible - that should be obvious to anyone who
bothers to calculate the molar weights.
When the manufacturers say "7% iodine", are they referring to 70g
of KI+I2 per kilo of tincture, or to the iodine/iodide alone
(meaning there is 77.2g KI+I2 per kilo of tincture?) Or is it per
liter of solution (I guess the density of the tincture isn't exactly
1.0)?
Other than just the math, the procedure is simply to mix the oxidizer with
the tincture and directly filtering off the iodine? Should the solution be
chilled first? Any special events happening using either oxidant? Any
concentration of peroxide works just as good?

So many questions...
Let's start with tincture.
They x% means obviously weight percent of I2+Iodine salt in tincture.Usually
it's 50/50 but may differ a little.And reason not to use low % tinctures is
that there is so much solvent around good stuff that it doesn't want to come
out.Most if not all of the liquid in tincture is alcohol and alcohol
dissolves I2.When one extracts 7% tincture he adds water to tincture so iodine
won't be so easily dissolved again innit.But some still dissolves and will be
thrown away.When using 7% the amount that dissolves again is small and it
won't affect yield that much but when using 2% then some of it dissolves
again in alcohol and will be thrown away .So yields are considerably lower
when dealing 2% compared to 7%.Also,i think,2% doesn't cost 3,5 times less
than 7%.2% percent tincture probably contains some water too but >5%
doesn't.Swim's tincture contains 2,5 percent of KI,2,5 percent of I and 0,2
percent of water and rest is alcohol.
Usually yields are over >80% with 5%(depends how careful one is when it
comes to drying)..Density of tincture should be near 1(Alcohol is ~0,8 gr/cm3
and Iodine is near 5.0 gm/cm3,but since there is lots of 0,8 gm/cm3 alcohol
and little 5.0 gr/cm3 iodine,the overall density is near 1).
Procedure itself is simple,yes,just mix oxidiser with tincture and them add
water and acid.Way too much oxidiser leaves one with iodine+some
crapola(over-oxidized iodine??)
that is hard to separate.
P.S i'll correct that reaction formula too.

Hasn't anyone tried to concentrate the tinctures by distillation? That should
leave only KI/I2, regardless of what concentration you started with.
Also, if using a weak tincture, after the oxidation step, the formed I2 could
be extracted with ether/chloroform/DCM, and especially if a concentrated salt
solution is added to the tincture to force out the alcohol from the aqueous
layer.

A good procedure for reducing potassium iodate/sodium iodiate (KIO3/NaIO3)
might be helpful. Then we can reclaim all of that wasted iodide.
Edit: Hypoiodide (KOI/NaOI) reduction
would be appreciated also.

They (-IO3 compounds) are strong oxidizers. The Hypoiodous acid
salts (-IO) are harder to reduce. My current thought is direct reaction with
chlorine gas. All of the iodide should be replaced. Not particularly
safe but chlorine gas is not a lot more dangerous than hydrogen chloride.

KIO3 is oxidiser instead of H2O2 or NaOCl.Haven't tried but teoretically
should work

Direct

Inorganic iodide salts can be reacted with chlorine gas to yeild
iodine. This method is very old. It is one of the early methods
of extracting iodine from seaweed residue. This is done in a dry
environment because in water chlorine gas and iodide produce Iodic acid and
hydrochloric acid.
Sodium Bisulfite will reduce the Iodate Salt to Iodine and a salt
sulfate. Sulphur Dioxide will reduce Iodic acid to Iodine and sulphuric
acid. Sulphur Dioxide will reduce the iodate salts yeilding iodine and
sulphates. Heating iodate salts will release oxygen and either sublime
the iodide or leave a metal salt of iodine.
A little research goes a long way

It is obviously a scanned encyclopedia with little or no correction after
OCR.

Iodates react the same way hypoiodites do with iodide salts, precipitating
diatomic iodine, but more iodide must be used per iodate.
KIO3 + 5KI + 6HCl --> 6KCl + 3I2 + 3H2O
Hydrogen iodide is a powerful enough reducing agent to reduce iodate ions.
Don't forget that hypohalite ions give halate ions and halides upon strong
heating.

Tinctures
with different %
|
Bookmark
Reply
|
|

While looking through the hive archives you will see many different
extractions methods, some maybe for 2%,4%,7% or even higher.
If you find a procedure for say 4% and you have 2% all you have to do is
evapourate half of the volume away to double the percentage in the tincture.
Just place you 2% tincture in a graduated beaker and sit it in a saucepan
with simmering water in it, as soon as the volume of tincture has reduced by
half, cool it in cold water, and you will have 4% tincture.
This same principle can be used to obtain 7% tincture from say 2%

Low percent tinctures make extracting hard but one just might get LG iodine

with H2O2 or NaOCl.IMO

KI dissociates in solution(aqueaous) as do all salts of strong acids.
Thats what happens when salt dissolves, this has nothing to do with
sublimation and is not related. In general it is not possible to
sublime salts.
You can't sublime KI, it will melt first at 681C and then boil at 1330C.

Sublimation

I remember seeing one iodine extraction procedure from tincture, where the
first step was the evapouration of the ethanol.
I really don't beleive that there will be much sublimation by just
evapourating half of the ethanol.
See thread starting with Elementary: "Removing Ethanol from Tincture"
(Chemistry Discourse)
It all depends on how you look at the tincture :
1. An alcoholic solution of KI3.H2O
2. An alcoholic solution of KI and I2 and water
Most tinctures have a certain amount of water in them as well as ethanol, so
as long as there is water, there will be KI3. Potassium tri-iodide
only exists as the hydrate (KI3.H2O)

It could be possible to use liquid parrafin in the aid of extraction.
http://www.uwcsea.edu.sg/chem/IBfolder/IBH/PRACTICAL/Assessment/Examples/PlanA.htm
Here's my theory :
Buy floating a layer of liquid parrafin over the top of a
water,ethanol,iodine,potassium iodide mix. Upon heating the ethanol would be
the first to make the transition through the parrafin to the air.
Here some good info on tinctures:

I have attempted to isolate "iodine" from tincture bottles (this
was years ago when I did not know they contained KI) by evaporation of the
ethanol.
I boiled it to near dryness, and I never was able to recover any crystals,
only purplish film lining the walls of the container as the surface line
descended. I did not add anything to the tincture though, just started
heating a small bottle's worth until it got dry. Waste of time and money.

But the title of that thread is "Hydriodic Acid From Pinene and

Was that the wrong link? Since SWIM uses H2SO4 / bleach (it's much easier, he
says) he'd really like to know what you intended to say.

From Rhodium: "Hydriodic Acid From Pinene and Iodine
" (Methods Discourse):
My invention relates to a new and improved process for the preparation of
hydriodic acid, either as the pure dry gas or as the aqueous solution. As is
well known, hydriodic acid can not be made satisfactorily by treating an
iodide with sulfuric acid as in the case of the preparation of hydrochloric
acid from a chloride and sulfuric acid. This is on account of the powerful
reducing properties of the acid. Thus, when an iodide, for example, potassium
iodide, is treated with sulfuric acid, some hydriodic acid is liberated but
in addition to the acid some iodine is set free. At the same time hydriodic
acid, on account of its powerful reducing power, reacts with the sulfuric
acid changing some of it to sulfurous acid and some to hydrogen sulfide. As
a result of this reduction, the yield of hydriodic acid is very small and the
acid is very impure. The preparation of hydriodic acid must therefore, be
other than the analogous method for the preparation of hydrofluoric or
hydrochloric acids.
The reaction described is what happens in converting the KI portion of
tincture using sulphuric acid. With HCl or phosphoric acid there is no reduction
of the sulphuric. Any chlorine gas formed when the bleach is added reacts
first with unreacted KI to form KCl and iodine. All this means is that when
using sulfuric your end yield will be less than when using HCl or phosphoric
acid. When reducing sulphuric more iodine is oxidized to HIO3.
Also note that hydrogen sulfide gas is formed which is more toxic than
chlorine gas.
Using sulfuric acid is equivalent to using too much bleach. That means
less iodine.

Let me confirm (from practical experience) that bisulfite reduction of iodate
ion works very well. You have to add the bisulfite very careful, because too
much will also reduce your iodine to iodide.
Same warning goes for hypochlorite oxidation of iodide: too much will oxidise
your iodine to iodate.
(and then you can add bisulfite again to go back and forth through all these
pretty color changes for ever).
I think a warning is in place about adding either hypochlorite or bisufite to
strongly acidic mixtures (big clouds of poisonous Cl2/SO2 could form).
Hansje high in proteine and fibre!

When you have a tincture which contains lots of alcohol, or if you want to
concentrate diluted tincture you can basify it before boiling off the bulk of
the solvent.
It's all explained in Osmium: "Re: 7% tincture blues" (Stimulants)
Also, H2O2 reacts rather slow with iodides. Don't add too much, and don't add
it too fast. Excess H2O2 will oxidise the I2 into colourless, water-soluble
MIOx. So leave that reaction alone until all the I2 has
precipitated and the supernatant liquid is tea coloured or near colourless.
Might take a while, just leave it alone for a few hours or even overnight. If
you accidentially added too much H2O2 you can reverse that by adding more
tincture.
If you can get your hands on iodate (or even periodate), get it! This is by
far the best oxidiser for I2 production, the yields are almost quantitative.

blah blah standard sentence. does it say that light is bad? no.

a tweeker reciepe. irrelevant.
> "Bottle must be tightly capped when not in use to prevent

totally unrelated. vaporization has nothing to do with deterioration.
vaporization means that the iodine tranforms into a gas -
just because light goes in doesn't mean that iodine can
come out.
so either you come up with relevant refs (what _does_ happen to the
iodine under light influence), or...
lugh: maybe iodine is sold in dark bottles for esthetical reasons?

Iodine slowly sublimes at room temperature, so the main caution is to keep it
sealed, none of SWIL's books says anything about light sensitivity That
doesn't prove anything, except it's obvious that stating:
Never
store in glass or opaque containers
is trolling in the Stimulants forum, a very bad idea

Every glass container I've received so far from a chemical supplier like
Merck, Fluka, Aldrich etc. was amber. Doesn't mean anything at all. If the
packaging is glass then it will be amber. They put everything into an amber
bottle by default.

Light liberates free iodine from crystals. This does not recombine
immediately. After long periods of time this can build up and recombine
explosively. Hence the dark bottles.

Hasn't anyone read Vogal, Practical Chem circa 1956. In one reaction
sodium iodide is formed. He writes a brief but thought provoking one
liner for the reclamation of the I2. SWIB will not give details, read
the book. But, he does indicate that sodium iodide + sodium dichromate+
Sulfuric acid + H2O makes for an interesting time. Give it a try.
One might want to try Potassium Dichromate + Potassium Idodide +
sulfuric acid + H2O. Please don't respond with any theoretical
bullshit, until you do the work. Than smile, fast clean robust.
Sorry this has nothing to do with tincture. Oh all the stuff is easy
and none alarming to get.

It may be bullshit. Never seen it happen. That is from one of
those NFPA (national fire protection agency) chemical hazard guides.
Light definitely causes disassociation but I can't see it doing more than
popping a cork. Chloroacetone supposedly does something similar, that I
have seen, hence using water or calcium carbonate as a stabilizer.
Edit:Found a number of references
that iodine is a stability hazard and heat and light are to be avoided.
No other description other than "free iodine is liberated".
Also found a reference to an iodine laser exploding. They use iodine in
lasers?

You can store it in bright sunlight for a hundred years (as long as it is in
an airtight bottle), and the I2 will not deteoriate. It is an element, and
when there's nothing else around to react with its only chance of changing
into something else is radioactive decay.

I wasn't referring to the composition - just the physical state. SWIM
remembers a batch that was left in the light and it began to liquify. But
this may have been due to unstable, poorly formed crystals.
So i'm doing a sunlight experiment with pre-fab crystals!
