Hazard Predictions
- Toxic: Reaction products may be toxic
In the presence of a trace of iron or nickel oxide, rapid oxidation occurs when sodium or potassium cyanide is heated in air, first to the toxic cyanate and then to carbonate. This process is used for the case hardening of steels (Pesce, L. D. 2010. Cyanides. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. 1-29. (Online)).
Sodium cyanide readily reduces the oxides of lead, tin, manganese, and copper (Pesce, L. D. 2010. Cyanides. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. 1-29. (Online)).
