Cyanide chemistries remain essential in various industrial processes, including mining and electroplating. Examine the age-old challenge of cyanide destruction, exploring both traditional and innovative methods. We provide a high-level review of current cyanide destruction processes, including:
- Alkaline chlorination
- Biological treatment
- Advanced technologies like Caro’s acid, hydrogen peroxide, and sulfur dioxide with air
Our analysis focuses on the efficacy, advantages, and limitations of each method. We also introduce a proprietary technology that significantly reduces sodium hypochlorite usage in alkaline chlorination, addressing key safety and chemical consumption concerns.
