The uses of potassium iodide can be summarized as follows:
1, Agricultural applications
Plant growth regulation: promotes crop growth, increases yield and resistance to pests and diseases, and improves fruit quality.
Disease prevention and control: used to prevent and control soil fungal diseases (such as root rot and wilt).
2, Food industry
Preservation and preservation: As a food preservative, it extends the shelf life.
Nutritional fortifier: added to table salt to supplement the body's iodine needs.
3, Laboratory and Industry
Chemical reagents:
Analysis and testing: used to determine the iodine content or blood indicators in water.
Co solvent: dissolves insoluble metal iodides and is used in chemical production.
Raw material preparation: Production of dyes, photosensitive materials (such as photographic emulsifiers), etc.
4, Radiation protection
Nuclear emergency measures: In the event of a nuclear accident, the risk of damage to the thyroid caused by radioactive iodine is reduced by saturating the thyroid iodine absorption sites.
