Sodium cyanide is an inorganic compound which is highly toxic colorless salt and used chiefly in gold mining but also has other niche applications. It is an inorganic salt obtained from neutralization reactions relating the weak acid hydrogen cyanide. In organic synthesis, cyanide, is also classified as a strong nucleophile, is used to prepare nitriles, which is found widely in many specialty chemicals, including pharmaceuticals. As it is a highly toxic, sodium cyanide is used to kill or stun rapidly for instance for illegal cyanide fishing.
For more than 10 years, South Chem Trading has been manufacturing and supplying sodium cyanide in solid form and solution form. Sodium cyanide is used to extract gold from ore in mining operations throughout the world.
South Chem sodium cyanide is transported via truck, rail, or ship to mining operations locally, nationally and overseas to more than 30 countries throughout South East Asia, Africa, the Americas and the Middle East.
– Gold Mining: Sodium cyanide is primarily used in gold mining. It helps extract gold and silver from ores by forming soluble complexes.
– Chemical Reactions: It serves as a starting material for various reactions, including the preparation of Reissert compounds, cyanogen bromide, cyanuric chloride, and cyanogen chloride.
– Catalyst: Sodium cyanide acts as a catalyst in the aminolysis of esters, leading to the formation of primary amides.
– Fumigation: It finds use in fumigation processes.
– Electroplating: Sodium cyanide is involved in electroplating applications.
Sodium cyanide is highly toxic and hygroscopic.
Avoid storing it near acids, strong oxidizing agents, or carbon dioxide.
Solubility: It is soluble in water, ammonia, methanol, and ethanol.
