What is Sodium Cyanide used for?

Sodium Cyanide is commonly used in the mining industry for extracting gold from ores.

How can I optimize the use of chemicals in ore processing?

Optimizing the use of chemicals in ore processing involves several strategies to enhance efficiency and cost-effectiveness:

Are there specific regulations for the use of mining chemicals?

Yes, the use of mining chemicals is subject to various regulations that govern their production, use, storage, and disposal. These regulations are designed to protect human health and the environment. Key regulatory aspects include:

What is a settling agent, and how does it work in mining?

A settling agent, also known as a flocculant, is a chemical used to accelerate the settling of suspended particles in a liquid. In the context of mining, settling agents are crucial for improving the efficiency of ore processing and tailings management.

How do I store Sodium Cyanide safely?

Sodium Cyanide should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials and in accordance with safety guidelines.

Description

It is a colorless, fuming liquid with a pungent odor and is naturally found in the venom of ants and bees . Formic acid is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and has various industrial applications.

Application

Animal feeds

In Europe, this chemical is used as a preservative and antibacterial agent in animal feed. For example, this substance is used to prevent spoilage of winter food in livestock in large livestock complexes (LikeCalcium propionate)

Bees

FA is usually used as a fumigant to kill the mites, which are able to attack the bees.

Leather Production

The second most widely used formic acid industry is the tanning and leather industries. In the process of leather production, the environment is strongly played, which is very unsuitable for leather production, so to reduce the pH of leather, sulfuric acid, and formic acid are added. Formic acid lowers the pH of the leather and penetrates homogeneously into the leather. If this is not done, many unwanted substances such as chromium sulfate will seep into the leather. Also in leather dyeing, this method helps to transfer the color to all parts of the leather.

Metal salts

Industrial uses use it to make metal salts such as nickel, cadmium, and potassium formate.

Producing artificial sweeteners

It has a large role in producing artificial sweetening agents such as aspartame.

Other applications

In the leather industry and tanning
In the synthesis of drugs such as insulin and caffeine
In dyeing and finishing textiles
As a coagulant in rubber production
To produce synthetic perfumes
As a mobile phase in high-performance HPLC liquid chromatography
As a solvent for perfumes
