Project Profile of Sawdaghar Lodide Salt Industry

Abstract

Common salt is an essential commodity in our day-to-day life. At the same time Iodine is an essential trace element in the human diet. It is used in iodine deficiency and thyroid disorders that is enlargement of the thyroid endemic goiter. It is the best way to prevent the above deficiency by taking Iodinated common salt, which is produced by addition of potassium Iodide with common salt (Sodium chloride). According to a report recently published in daily News Paper it has been observed that there is a large demand of Iodide salt from the all walk of people in Bangladesh & there are some companies who are producing Iodide salt at present. But the quality of the available products is not satisfactory. In most of the cases Iodine is not found in the product, Iodide salt. From this point of view we are inspired to establish an Iodide salt factory to fulfill the mass demand for quality Iodide salt to develop a self entrepreneurship and to generate a self employment opportunity.
