What is Sodium Cyanide?
Sodium Cyanide (NaCN) is a highly toxic, inorganic compound widely used in the mining industry, especially for gold extraction. This white, water-soluble solid plays a critical role in the cyanidation process, allowing for efficient separation of gold from ore. Aside from mining, sodium cyanide is also used in chemical manufacturing, electroplating, and organic synthesis for the production of specialty chemicals, including pharmaceuticals.
Due to its high reactivity and toxicity, sodium cyanide must be handled and transported with the highest safety standards.
