Potassium Iodide

Potassium IodidePotassium Iodide is an odorless inorganic compound, occurring as white crystals with 140 grams/100 gm solubility in water. Potassium iodide is used medicinally in tablets and to prepare for thyroid surgery. It is highly applicable to treat high thyroid levels and to protect the thyroid in a radiation emergency. It is also used as an expectorant which may help loosen and break up mucous.

The chemical composition of Potassium Iodide is mentioned below:
Potassium Iodide is a simple ionic salt, K+I-. Since the iodide ion is a mild reducing agent, I- is easily oxidized to I2 by powerful oxidising agents such as chlorine:
2 KI(aq) + Cl2(aq) 2 KCl + I2(aq)

Even air will oxidize iodide as evidenced by the observation of a purple extract when KI is rinsed with dichloromethane. Under acidic conditions, KI is oxidised even more easily, due to the formation of hydroiodic acid (HI), which is a powerful reducing agent.[1][2][3][4] KI forms I3- when combined with elemental iodine. KI(aq) + I2(s) KI3(aq)

Methanol

MethanolMethanol is clear, colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic odor. It is a clean energy source, as well as a raw material for some of the everyday items we use.

Applications.

Methanol is a common laboratory solvent. It is especially useful for HPLC, UV/VIS spectroscopy, and LCMS due to its low UV cutoff.

Feedstock

The largest use of methanol by far is in making other chemicals. About 40% of methanol is converted to formaldehyde, and from there into products as diverse as plastics, plywood, paints, explosives, and permanent press textiles.

Other chemical derivatives of methanol include dimethyl ether, which has replaced chlorofluorocarbons as an aerosol spray propellant, andacetic acid. Dimethyl ether, or "DME" also can be blended with liquified petroleum gas (LPG) for home heating and cooking, and can be used as a diesel replacement transportation fuel.

Fuel for vehicles

Main Article: Methanol Fuel

Methanol is used on a limited basis to fuel internal combustion engines. Pure methanol is required by rule to be used in Champcars, Monster Trucks, USAC sprint cars (as well as midgets, modifieds, etc.), and other dirt track series such as World of Outlaws, and Motorcycle Speedway. Methanol is also used, as the primary fuel ingredient since the late 1940s, in the powerplants for radio control, control line andfree flight airplanes (as methanol is required in the "glow-plug" engines that primarily power them), cars and trucks, from such an engine's use of a platinum filament glow plug being able to ignite the methanol vapor through a catalytic reaction. Drag racers and mud racers also use methanol as their primary fuel source. Methanol is required with a supercharged engine in a Top Alcohol Dragster and, until the end of the 2006 season, all vehicles in the Indianapolis 500 had to run methanol. Mud racers have mixed methanol with gasoline and nitrous oxide to produce more power than gasoline and nitrous oxide alone.

Other applications

Methanol is a traditional denaturant for ethanol, thus giving the term methylated spirit.[3]

Methanol is also used as a solvent, and as an antifreeze in pipelines and windshield washer fluid.

In some wastewater treatment plants, a small amount of methanol is added to wastewater to provide a food source of carbon for thedenitrifying bacteria, which convert nitrates to nitrogen to reduce the denitrification of sensitive aquifers.

During World War II, methanol was used as a fuel in several German military rocket designs, under name M-Stoff, and in a mixture as C-Stoff.

Methanol was used as an automobile coolant antifreeze in the early 1900s.

Methanol is used as a denaturing agent in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Direct-methanol fuel cells are unique in their low temperature, atmospheric pressure operation, allowing them to be miniaturized to an unprecedented degree. This, combined with the relatively easy and safe storage and handling of methanol may open the possibility of fuel cell-powered consumer electronics, such as for laptop computers and mobile phones.

Methanol is also a widely used fuel in camping and boating stoves. Methanol burns well in an unpressurized burner, so alcohol stoves are often very simple, sometimes little more than a cup to hold fuel. This lack of complexity makes them a favorite of hikers who spend extended time in the wilderness.

Methanol is mixed with water and injected into high performance diesel engines for an increase of power and a decrease in exhaust gas temperature. This is called water methanol injection.

Potato Starch

Potato StarchPotato starch is starch extracted from potatoes..

Potato starch is a very refined starch, containing minimal amount of protein or fat. Potato starch gives the powder a clear white colour, and the cooked starch typical characteristics as neutral taste, good clarity, high binding strength, long texture and a minimal tendency of foaming or yellowing of the solution.

Potato starch contains approximate 800 ppm phosphate bound to the starch; this increases the viscosity and gives the solution a slightly anionic character, a low gelatinization temperature (approximately 140F/60 Deg C and high swelling power. These typical properties are used in food and technical applications.

Use
Potato starch and potato starch derivatives are used in many recipes, for example in Noodles, wine gums, cocktail nuts, potato chips, hot dog sausages, bakery cream and instant soups and sauces, in gluten-free recipes and in kosher for Passover  foods Potato starch also used in technical applications as wallpaper glue, for textile finishing and textile sizing, in paper coating and sizing and as paper sacks adhesive. Potato starch also occasionally used in the preparation of pre-packed grated cheese, to reduce the cheese sweating and binding.
