Sodium Cyanide (NaCN)

Sodium Cyanide (NaCN) is a white, crystalline inorganic compound widely used in industrial applications, particularly in the extraction of precious metals such as gold and silver through the cyanidation process. NaCN serves as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis, including the manufacture of nitriles, cyanogen chloride, and cyanuric chloride. It also finds use in electroplating, metal surface treatment, and dye and pigment production.
