Sodium Cyanide

Short Description:

Sodium cyanide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaCN. It appears as a white crystalline powder that is highly hygroscopic and emits a faint almond-like odor. It is highly toxic. Sodium cyanide dissolves easily in water, forming a strongly alkaline solution. As a critical basic chemical raw material, it is widely used in fundamental chemical synthesis, electroplating, metallurgy, and organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and metal processing as a complexing and masking agent.

Application

Sodium cyanide is an essential chemical raw material.

• In the mechanical industry, it is primarily used as a quenching agent for various steels.
• In the electroplating industry, it serves as a key component in plating solutions for copper, gold, silver, cadmium, zinc, and other metals. It reduces anodic polarization in electroplating solutions, ensuring proper anodic dissolution, stabilizing the plating solution, and enhancing cathodic polarization for uniform plating.
• In the mining industry, sodium cyanide is widely used for extracting precious metals such as gold and silver.
• In the chemical industry, it acts as a raw material for producing various inorganic cyanides and generating hydrogen cyanide. It is also utilized in the manufacture of organic glass, various synthetic materials, nitrile rubber, and copolymers for synthetic fibers.
• In the dye industry, sodium cyanide is used to produce cyanuric chloride (an intermediate for reactive dyes and a raw material for optical brighteners).
• In the pharmaceutical industry, it is employed to manufacture products such as vitamin B, lactic acid, caffeine, aminophylline, monosodium glutamate, methyl cyanoacetate, and diethyl malonate.
• In the feed industry, it is used in the production of amino acid feed additives like methionine.
• In the textile industry, it is used as a mordant. It also finds applications in steel liquid carburizing and nitriding processes.
