Sodium Iodate is a chemical compound. It is an oxidizing agent.
Description
The process involves dissolving Iodine in sodium Hydroxide and after electrolytic oxidation using TSIA in an annular flow cell. At the end of the electrolysis the electrolyte is cooled to get sodium Iodate. After filtration the electrolyte is recycled to the cell feed.
3I2 + 6NaOH → NaIO3 + 5NaI + 3H2O
