It is used as a photographic emulsifier, a food additive, as a sputum, a diuretic, a goiter prevention and a thyroid hyperfunction surgery, and as an analytical reagent. It is used as a photographic emulsifier in the photographic industry and also as a pharmaceutical and food additive.

3. The food industry is used as a nutritional supplement (iodine enhancer). Can also be used as a feed additive.
4. Used as an analytical reagent, such as preparing an iodine standard solution as an auxiliary reagent. Also used as a photosensitive emulsifier, feed additive. Used in the pharmaceutical industry.
5. Potassium iodide is a co-solvent for iodine and certain insoluble metal iodides.
