Description: Sodium cyanide is produced through the neutralization of hydrogen cyanide with sodium hydroxide, serving as a critical reagent in gold/silver extraction (90% of global consumption) and electroplating (zinc/copper plating). This highly toxic compound releases hydrogen cyanide gas upon contact with acids or moisture, requiring strict handling under ISO 17081 standards for mining applications.
