Calcium Iodide is an inorganic chemical compound that finds huge applications in the industrial sector. It is widely used in the production of various medicinal compounds. It is also used as a component in the formulation of animal feed to incorporate iodine as an important nutrient, particularly for animals like cats. It also finds its application in photography. It is also used as a precursor for various iodine-containing compounds that are of great industrial use.
The market for Calcium Iodide is predominantly led by its involvement in the chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and photography industries, which drives its demands. Its application as a building block in the production of various iodine compounds also promotes its demand in the chemical production industries. Its usage in the animal feed industry for producing cat food products further enhances its market growth. Its application in the pharmaceutical industry for production drugs and other iodine-related medical applications remarkably boosts its market growth. Additionally, several factors, including the availability of raw materials (calcium hydroxide, etc.), their cost, their application in the animal feed industry, their usage in the photography industry, distribution, and quality standards, are crucial factors that influence industrial Calcium Iodide procurement to a large extent.
Raw Material for Calcium Iodide Production
According to the Calcium Iodide production plant project report, the major raw materials for Calcium Iodide production include Calcium Hydroxide-Hydroiodic Acid; Calcium Carbonate-Hydroiodic Acid.
Production Process of Calcium Iodide
The extensive Calcium Iodide production cost report consists of the following industrial production processes:
- Production from Calcium Hydroxide: This method of the production is initiated using calcium hydroxide as the starting material to produce calcium iodide as the product. The process involves the reaction of calcium hydroxide with hydroiodic acid, which results in the formation of calcium iodide as the final product.
- Production from Calcium Carbonate: This method of production involves the use of calcium carbonate as the starting material for the synthesis of calcium iodide as the product. The synthesis is initiated by the reaction of calcium carbonate with hydroiodic acid, which results in the formation of calcium iodide as the final product, along with carbon dioxide and water as the final product of the reaction.
Calcium Iodide (CaI2) is a colorless compound with a deliquescent nature, allowing it to absorb moisture from the atmosphere readily. It is highly soluble in water and can also dissolve in solvents like ethyl alcohol and amyl alcohol. It is made up of one calcium and two iodine ions. The molar mass of the compound is 293.89 g/mol. It's typically formed through the direct combination of calcium and iodine or by reacting calcium hydroxide with iodine. Calcium Iodide tetrahydrate is more stable than its anhydrous counterpart. Derivatives such as Calcium Iodide hexahydrate have their commercial applications. The melting point of Calcium Iodide is 779 °C, and its boiling point is 1100 °C. The density of the compound is 3.956 g/cm3.
