In a flash-tank, catalysts producing this compound can precipitate their tri-iodate form when they lose (*) carbon monoxide ligands.
An inefficient way to produce this compound using a lot of steam with a tin and titanium vanadate catalyst was developed by Huls and improved by Bayer to reduce the amount of tar produced. This compound is the food additive E260 and is used to treat fungal and bacterial ear infections in theVosol ear-drops. This compound is the active ingredient in photographic stop baths as well as the non- sulfite ingredient in rapid fixers. In a flash-tank, catalysts producing this compound can precipitate their tri-iodate form when they lose (*) carbon monoxide ligands. One method for producing this compound under high pressures and temperatures using a rhodium catalyst was improved by switching to an lridium catalyst. This compound is synthesized by carbonylating methanol in the Cativa and Monsanto processes. For 10 points, name this carboxylic acid, the primary component of vinegar.
