STARCH IODIDE PAPER

Starch iodide paper is filter paper impregnated with potassium iodide and starch. Any oxidiser — free chlorine, nitrite, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, chlorine gas — oxidises iodide to iodine, which complexes with the starch to a blue-black colour. Moistened strips are used to detect chlorine gas leaks at cylinders and chlorinators, to check for residual oxidant in dechlorinated water and ballast discharge, to confirm nitrite in cooling-water tests and to detect peroxides in solvents. RXSOL supplies booklets and vials of strips for ships, plants and laboratories.

Overview

Hint Starch iodide paper consists of potassium iodide and starch. It is used for detection of nitrite and free chlorine atoms. Free chlorine and nitrite ion readily accept an electron to gain their stable configuration. As they get reduced, they end up oxidizing the iodide ion present in the form of potassium iodide.

Applications

The Potassium Iodide Starch test paper contains potassium iodide as an active ingredient. In the presence of an oxidant, such as peroxide or chlorine, iodide is converted to iodine which then binds to starch molecules in the paper forming the blue to purple color.

Dosage and directions

Chlorine turns moist starch iodide paper blue-black because the iodide ions on the paper are oxidised to iodine and the starch react to it to give blue black compound.

Characteristics and notes

When moist starch iodide paper is introduced into chlorine gas, chlorine oxidizes iodide to iodine, which shows up as blue when complexed with starch.

Safety and SDS

Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.

No — it is a presence/absence test; use the DPD chlorine test kit (0–25 ppm) for a reading.

Shelf life?

2–3 years sealed and dry, away from light and fumes.
