ABSTRACT:
A process for the manufacture of iodine, in the presence of a catalyst selected from copper, gold, a transition metal or a compound thereof, characterized in that an aqueous solution of an alkali metal iodide is oxidized--with oxygen, air or other oxygen containing gase--in the presence of carbon dioxide (an alkali metal carbonate and/or bicarbonate being thus formed).
Iodine is generally obtained by oxidation of alkali metal iodides comping from a natural source, such as those contained in Chilean nitrates or in other salt deposits (sea-water included), or having an industrial origin; in the latter case the alkali metal iodide is generally the effluent of different processes which contemplate iodine recovery for economic reasons.
