Crushed Iodine
In the production process of crushed iodine, first, the iodine slurry, which contains a significant amount of water and impurities, enters the evaporator or melting exchanger and is heated to an appropriate temperature. As a result of this process, two phases are formed:
-
The upper phase containing water and impurities
-
The lower phase containing molten iodine with high density
As shown in the diagram below, the molten iodine is discharged from the bottom of the device through a special valve and poured into specific injection molds. After cooling and solidifying, the iodine blocks are transferred to the crusher machine and broken down into smaller pieces called crushed iodine.
