POTASSIUM CYANIDE VS CYANIDE - AN OVERVIEW

Complementary to its reactivity toward acids, KOH attacks oxides. Therefore, SiO2 is attacked by KOH to present soluble potassium silicates. KOH reacts with carbon dioxide to give potassium bicarbonate:The principal course of action used to manufacture cyanides could be the Andrussow process during which gaseous hydrogen cyanide is made from methan
