Iodine screw up
moo:
And don't add too much NaOH, it can dissolve iodine as hypoiodite. I'd use sodium (bi)carbonate for neutralization instead.
tina_craig:
Well, thought the same thing when originally posted this so added about 300ml of 20% NaOH/dh2o and still sludge on the bottom but did notice something happening, think that it has thickened up some. Really sucks to fuck up a pint of that high of tinc. Went immediately and bought a 7% tinc and got back about 30 grams from that but still want to try and recoup the other. Will add another 150ml NaOH and continue dilluting with water. Don't have to do the iodine too often and had procedure written down wrong in papers. Won't ever make that mistake again.
Organikum:
DONT use NaOH but sodium carbonate or better sodium bicarbonate (baking powder) to neutralize the excess acid as moo told you.
But you probably have fucked it up completely by now.
tina_craig:
Added NaOH the other day before reading thread, no my hearing is fine!! Will try baking soda.
geezmeister:
Dry that sludge, and resublime the I2 in it before you use it.
