Hello.
I know it is possible to make Iodine from Tincture of Iodine.
But is it possible to make Sodium Iodide, Iodate, and Metaperiodate from tincture of iodine.
Thanks.

You can add first HCl and then H2O2 to the tincture until iodine appears (grey stuff). After that you need to filter it and you can wash it with
something or purify with sublimation. Sodium iodide could be made from HI acid, that acid could be made from elemental iodine I think.

Free the I2 and add NaOH should yeild NaOI which on reduction with Carbon or heating should yeild NaI.

Or, alternatively, you could buy NaI for around 60-$100 a kg. I once got lucky and got a kg of KI for around $40.
This would be SO MUCH easier and less costly than freeing I2 from EtOH/KI solution and then reacting with NaOH and then reducing to yield
NaI!! Jesus! If, however, this is for experimentation purposes, more power to you.
