Primary Industrial Uses
Mining and Metallurgy: The most significant use is gold and silver extraction through a process called cyanidation, where the chemical dissolves precious metals from low-grade ores. It is also used in the processing of base metal ores like copper.
Electroplating: It serves as a complexing agent to stabilize metal ions in electrolyte solutions before they are deposited onto surfaces. This is common for plating metals like gold, silver, platinum, and cadmium.
Chemical Manufacturing: It is a basic raw material for producing:
Nitriles and Carboxylic Acids: Key intermediates for making plastics, synthetic fibers (like nylon), and rubber.
Chelating Agents: Used in various industrial cleaning and water treatment processes.
Dyes and Pigments: Used in the printing and textile industries.
Metal Treatment: Used for case-hardening (surface hardening) of steel and other metal cleaning or degreasing projects.
