Product Aliases

Common industrial aliases of Potassium Cyanide (KCN): Cyanide of Potassium, Potassium Salt of Hydrocyanic Acid, Kaliumcyanid, White Prussiate of Potash

Physical Characteristics

Potassium Cyanide (KCN) appears as white crystalline powder or white granular solid with faint bitter almond odor when exposed to humid air. The material carries obvious hygroscopicity and dissolves rapidly in water while slightly soluble in ethanol. Its melting point reaches 634℃ and boiling point hits 1497℃. As a severe toxic solid marked UN 1680 Class 6.1, it generates lethal hydrogen cyanide gas once contacting acidic substances, and isolated storage away from acid, oxidants and combustible materials is mandatory throughout storage and transit.

Industrial Applications

Potassium Cyanide (KCN) acts as core gold and silver leaching reagent in mineral extraction operations, serving as the essential complexing agent for separating precious metals from ore. It works as primary plating salt for high-gloss silver, gold and copper electroplating treatment to deliver uniform coating layers. Besides, this chemical applies to organic fine chemical synthesis, photographic processing auxiliary manufacturing and steel surface hardening treatment.

FAQ (3 unique differentiated questions)

What physical forms are accessible for bulk industrial procurement of Potassium Cyanide (KCN)? Industrial Potassium Cyanide (KCN) provides powder and granular forms; powder variant dissolves faster for liquid leaching tanks while granular type reduces caking risk during long-term sealed storage.

What compliance documentation supports EU cross-border import of Potassium Cyanide (KCN)? This batch of Potassium Cyanide (KCN) completes full REACH registration, comprehensive technical dossiers and accessible MSDS download can satisfy EU chemical import inspection and regulatory filing requirements.

What core safety control measure must be followed during transportation of Potassium Cyanide (KCN)? Classified as UN 1689 toxic solid, Potassium Cyanide (KCN) requires fully airtight anti-leak IBC or lined woven bag packaging, and mixed loading with acidic chemicals or oxidizing agents is strictly forbidden for all shipping routes.
