what would do the trick?
« on: March 11, 2004, 09:49:00 AM »
hello again guys...

after a long time of desperate research and waste of money...SWIM finally found a really rich easy source of iodine.
SWIM is very happy but there is still a problem.
The concentrsted solution i have isnt just iodine itself.
its a mixture of about 10 iodides which includes potassium iodide,sodium iodide,calcium iodide and pure iodine.
SWIM read a lot of posts on how to convert potassium iodide to iodine, and SWIM was wondering what was the best
thing to do to extract all of the iodine from the iodine iodide solution.
will h2o2 convert all the iodides into iodine?
which do u think its the best way for getting all the iodine from solution?

the ones i know are:
1) h2o2
2) sulphuric acid
3) electrolysis

please help me out....SWIM dont wanna mess up another experiment for the hundred time.

peace doc!

I've heard of displacements with sodium hypochlorite. But have not tried it myself.
