Sodium cyanide is a water-soluble inorganic chemical compound (NaCN) found in white solid form. It serves as a flotation agent in the mining industry for the extraction of gold and silver from mineral ores, as well as a pesticide in various chemicals to prevent bugs in agricultural farms.
2. INTRODUCTION
SODIUM CYANIDE ISA HIGHLY TOXIC, COLORLESS, AND
ODORLESS INORGANIC COMPOUND WITH THE CHEMICAL
FORMULA NACN. IT ISA STRONG AND FAST- ACTING POISON
THAT CAN CAUSE DEATH WITHIN MINUTES WHEN INGESTED
OR INHALED IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES. SODIUM CYANIDE IS
COMMONLY USED IN THE MINING INDUSTRY TO EXTRACT
GOLD AND OTHER PRECIOUS METALS FROM ORES, AS IT
FORMS A STABLE COMPLEX WITH GOLD IONS, ALLOWING
THEM TO BE EASILY SEPARATED FROM THE ORE. HOWEVER,
DUE TO ITS TOXICITY, SODIUM CYANIDE MUST BE HANDLED
WITH EXTREME CAUTION AND APPROPRIATE SAFETY
MEASURES MUST BE IN PLACE TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL
EXPOSURE OR RELEASE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.
