Sodium cyanide is a white crystalline substance that is soluble in water and has a bitter almond-like smell. It is widely applied in different processes of industries.
Gold Extraction
Water Treatment and Mining
Cyanide soluble gold which is crucial in gold mining through the process of cyanidation.
Binds to gold ions to form a stable complex that enhances dissolution and subsequent recovery of the gold.
Used in the extraction of other valuable metals like silver and platinum in metallurgical industries.
Helps in the separation and purification of metal ions by forming soluble cyanide complexes.
Used in chemical synthesis for the preparation of organic substances such as drugs and dyes.
It plays a significant role in the synthesis of different nitrogen-containing compounds.
Applied in the electroplating industry to coat surfaces with a thin layer of precious metals.
Improve the aesthetics and anti-corrosion properties of metal products.
Used in pest control for the treatment of stored grains and fruits to get rid of insects and pests.
It gives out toxic hydrogen cyanide gas used as a fumigant to eliminate the pests.
Sodium cyanide is well packed in secure containers to avoid leakage and to enhance safety when in use. It has proper labeling and handling instructions for its use in gold extraction and other industrial processes.
