Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Treatment of Iodine Deficiency and Goiter: Sodium iodide is used as an oral iodine supplement to treat iodine deficiency-related disorders like goiter and hypothyroidism.
  • Radioactive Sodium Iodide (NaI-131) for Thyroid Imaging and Therapy: The radioactive isotope of NaI, Sodium Iodide I-131, is extensively used in nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat thyroid cancer, Graves' disease, and hyperthyroidism. It accumulates in thyroid tissues for precise targeting.

 2. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • Iodine Fortification in Animal Feed: Acts as a source of iodine in livestock and poultry feeds, improving metabolism, fertility, and thyroid function in farm animals.
  • Iodized Salt Formulation: Occasionally used in iodized salt (less commonly than potassium iodide) to prevent iodine deficiency disorders in human populations.

3. Performance Chemicals

  • Reagent in Organic Synthesis: NaI is used in Finkelstein reactions to substitute chlorine or bromine atoms with iodine in alkyl halides, producing alkyl iodides important in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
  • Analytical Chemistry Reagent: Acts as a reducing agent and complexing agent in iodometric titrations and various qualitative and quantitative chemical analyses.
  • Component in Reagent Kits: Sodium iodide is part of lab reagents, testing kits, and staining solutions, especially in DNA staining, alkyl halide detection, and radiolabeling applications.
