SIGNIFICANCE AND USESIGNIFICANCE AND USE
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
SIGNIFICANCE AND USESIGNIFICANCE AND USE
The disinfectant properties of iodine have led to its use as
an alternative to chlorine and bromine.
However, its toxic and corrosive properties and the difficulties
of dissolving it in water has limited a more wide-spread
application. One of its most common application is in
poultry industry process water.
Note: mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).
CHEMICAL REACTIONCHEMICAL REACTION
CHEMICAL REACTION
CHEMICAL REACTIONCHEMICAL REACTION
The reaction between iodine and the reagent causes a
reddish tint in the sample. The amount of color developed is
proportional to the concentration of iodine present in the
aqueous sample.

5 mL
• Fill the color comparator cube with
5 mL of sample (up to the mark).
• Add 1 packet of HI 93718-0 reagent, replace the cap
and shake well.
• Wait for 2 minutes to allow color
to develop.
• Determine which color matches the solution in the vessel
and record the result as mg/L (or ppm) of Iodine.
Note: It is better to match the color with a white sheet
placed at about 10 cm (4") behind the comparator.
