 Patent 5006312: Gravimetric titration apparatus for the determination of the iodine number of carbon black
The iodine adsorption number is related to the surface area of carbon fls and is generally in agreement with nitrogen surface area, although it is also affected by the presence of volatiles, surface porosity, and extractables.
The iodine adsorption number of the carbon fl is mathematically determined based on the gravimetrically determined concentration of the primary standard solution, the titrant, the iodine blank, and the supernatant from the equilibrated carbon fl-iodine solution mixture.

Thus, the iodine number became the industry standard for liquid phase carbons and the carbon tetrachloride number (and more recently butane activity) became the standard for vapor phase carbons.
In reality, since the iodine number is a measure of adsorption, and the dechlorination process is a reaction, iodine number has nothing to do with performance in dechlorination applications.
While iodine number is a measure of adsorption, the concentration of iodine used in the test is such that the iodine number provides little indication of how a carbon will perform with trace concentrations such as those seen in most residential applications involving organic removal (see table 3).

 Patent 5003020: Diallyl terephthalate prepolymer and process for producing seam
A solution-polymerized prepolymer has a lower iodine number than a bulk-polymerized prepolymer but still has the above drawbacks, because the number of the monomer units in the carbon-carbon bonded molecular chain portion, which is composed of the allyl group for the monomer units, is still large.
When the number of monomer units in the carboncarbon bonded molecular chain portion, which is composed of the allyl group for the monomer units, is 15 or more, gellation may occur before the polymer is sufficiently cross-linked to provide improved properties thereof.
The iodine value is another important consideration because the properties are improved by increasing the cross-linking density, and should be controlled to a level lower than that of the bulk-polymerized prepolymer.

 Stability of BioDiesel and the 'Iodine Value'
These chains differ in the number of carbon atoms and the number of carbon-carbon " double bonds " in the chain.
The Iodine Value is not determined by measuring the stability of the fuel, rather it is determined by measuring the number of double bonds in the mixture of fatty acid chains in the fuel by introducing iodine into 100 grams of the sample under test and measuring how many grams of that iodine are absorbed.
Iodine absorption occurs at double bond positions - thus a higher IV number indicates a higher quantity of double bonds in the sample.
