Sodium Cyanide, ACS Reagent Grade
Manufacturer: Spectrum Chemical Manufacturing
Sodium Cyanide, Reagent, ACS from Spectrum Chemical is a high-purity inorganic compound essential for specialized laboratory and industrial applications. As an ACS Reagent Grade substance, it meets the stringent quality standards set by the American Chemical Society, ensuring the consistency and purity required for use as a primary analytical standard. While widely recognized for its role in gold and silver extraction due to its high affinity for precious metals, it is also a vital reagent in organic synthesis for the preparation of nitriles and as a catalyst in various chemical research workflows.
Description
Available in sizes ranging from small research quantities to bulk industrial packaging.
Features:
- Exceptional Metal Affinity: Highly reactive with gold, silver, and copper, making it indispensable for metallurgical research and precision mining applications
- Analytical Standard: ACS certification ensures that trace impurities are strictly controlled, providing reproducible results in high-stakes quality control settings
- Versatile Synthesis: Acts as a powerful nucleophile in the creation of various pharmaceutical intermediates and industrial chemicals
Safety & Regulatory Information:
DANGER! Extremely Toxic & Lethal: Sodium Cyanide is a potent poison that can be fatal if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Contact with acids releases highly toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN) gas.
- Personal Protection: Full PPE is mandatory. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, splash-proof goggles, a lab coat, and work exclusively in a high-efficiency fume hood
- Storage: Store in a secure, locked cabinet. Keep in a cool, dry place strictly separated from acids, water/moisture, and oxidizing agents
- Regulatory Compliance: Purchase and transport are subject to strict local and federal regulations. A "Statement of Intended Use" or specific permits may be required prior to shipment
