SODIUM CYANIDE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Sodium Cyanide is a white, crystalline inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaCN. It is used in various industrial and chemical applications, primarily in the mining industry for the extraction of gold and silver from ores. Sodium Cyanide is employed in the cyanidation process, where it forms a soluble complex with the precious metals, allowing them to be separated from the ore. It is also used in electroplating, providing a source of cyanide ions for the deposition of metals onto surfaces. In the chemical industry, Sodium Cyanide is used as a reagent in the synthesis of various organic compounds and as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions. Proper handling and storage of Sodium Cyanide are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety, as it is highly toxic and can pose significant health risks if ingested or inhaled. Proper safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are essential when working with Sodium Cyanide. Its effectiveness as an extractant and reagent makes it a valuable chemical in various applications, although its use requires careful control to prevent hazards.
