We are offering sodium cyanide, potassium cyanide. offering sodium & potassium cyanide 98% a white odorless crystalline soluble compound that has, when damp, an odor of hydrogen cyanide. It is used for extracting gold and silver from ores and in dye manufacture. Sodium cyanide is an inorganic compound with the formula nacn. It is a white, water-soluble solid. Cyanide has a high affinity for metals, which is the basis of the high toxicity this salt. Its main application, in gold mining, also exploits its high reactivity toward metals. When it is treated with acid, it forms the toxic gas hydrogen cyanide. sodium cyanide is mainly used to extract gold and other precious metals in mining. This application exploits the high affinity of gold(i) for cyanide, which induces gold metal to oxidize and dissolve in the presence of air and water, producing the salt sodium gold cyanide (or gold sodium cyanide) and sodium hydroxide: several commercially significant chemical compounds are derived from cyanide, including cyanuric chloride, cyanogen chloride, and many nitriles. In organic synthesis, cyanide, which is classified as a strong nucleophile, is used to prepare nitriles, which occur widely in many specialty chemicals, including pharmaceuticals. Being highly toxic, sodium cyanide is used to kill or stun rapidly such as in illegal cyanide fishing and in collecting jars used by entomologists.
