I looked through the search engine and was unable to find a process for the decomposition

The answer has already been given to you in this very thread. If you do not understand then you should not be posting in this Forum; you should post in the Newbee Forum.

To reiterate the answer. Aqueous KI can be oxidized with acidic H2O2 to give elemental iodine. This is essentially the same reaction people use to get iodine crystals from tincture of iodine.
