GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Sodium Ferrocyanide is the salt containing radical Fe(CN)64- (negative tetravalent); soluble in water but insoluble in alcohol. It is the main component of Prussian blue pigment, Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, used for the manufacture of inks and paints and bluing in laundry and dyeing. It is used for removal of mercaptans from petroleum fuels and gas. It is used in making Sodium Ferricyanide (Red Prussiate of soda). Other applications include photography, tanning, explosives, metal treatments and snow treatment.
