Sodium cyanide

Description:

Sodium cyanide (NaCN) is a highly toxic, white crystalline compound that is primarily used in mining, particularly in the extraction of gold and silver through the cyanidation process. It is soluble in water, forming a strongly alkaline solution, and has a bitter almond odor due to the release of hydrogen cyanide when it comes into contact with acids. Sodium cyanide is classified as a highly hazardous substance due to its ability to inhibit cellular respiration by binding to cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria, leading to potentially fatal outcomes upon exposure. It is also used in various industrial applications, including electroplating and the production of organic chemicals. Proper handling and storage are critical, as it poses significant health risks to humans and the environment. Safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adherence to regulatory guidelines, are essential when working with this compound.
