Preperation of Iodine compounds from Tincture of Iodine
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.

"I see a lot of patterns in our behavior as a nation that parallel a lot of other historical processes. The fall of Rome, the fall of Germany — the
fall of the ruling country, the people who think they can do whatever they want without anybody else's consent. I've seen this story
before."~Maynard James Keenan

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.
"There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry ... There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any
question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. ... We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and
that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think,
free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress." -J. Robert Oppenheimer
