Following are the major applications of sodium cyanide: Mining: Sodium cyanide is extensively used in the mining industry. The main use of sodium cyanide in mining is the extraction of gold and other precious metals. Gold is highly reactive to cyanide, therefore, it is explicitly used in gold mining. Chemical feedstock- Sodium cyanide helps in producing several commercially significant chemical compounds such as cyanogen chloride, many types of nitriles, and cyanuric chloride. Nitriles are present in many chemicals, and it has vast usage in the pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, sodium cyanide is used as an agricultural chemical and pesticide. It can also be used to produce hyd...
