Short description

International name: SODIUM CYANIDE Chemical formula: NaCN CAS number: 143-33-9 UN number: 1689 Purity: 98% Packing specification: 50kg / drum Manufactured in: China, Korea, USA 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 leads to the high toxicity of this salt. Its main application, in gold mining, also exploits its high reactivity toward metals. It is a strong base. Applications: Sodium cyanide is used mainly to extract gold and other precious metals in mining industry. 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 widely illegal cyanide fishing and in collecting jars used by entomologists.
