Properties and stability

1. Semi-hydrated crystals (KSCN·0.5H2O) can be obtained at low temperatures, which are stable at -29.5~6.8℃, turn blue when heated to about 430℃, but turn colorless again after cooling. Decomposes when heated to 500°C. When in contact with ferrous salts, blood-red ferric thiocyanide is produced, but in the presence of ferrous salts, there is no reaction. poisonous. Solubility g/100g water 177 (0℃), 239 (25℃), 673.6 (99℃).

Storage method

1. Should be stored in a cool, dry place. Pay attention to moisture-proof, do not press, and prevent opening the lid and breaking the barrel.

2. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Do not store or transport together with acids and foods.

Combinedmethod

1. It can be obtained by the reaction of potassium cyanide and sulfur or by the pressure synthesis reaction of carbon disulfide and ammonia water to generate ammonium thiocyanate, which is then reacted with potassium carbonate. The ammonium thiocyanate conversion method carries out a pressurized synthesis reaction between carbon disulfide and ammonia water to generate ammonium thiocyanate and by-product ammonium hydrogen sulfide, and then through desulfurization and evaporation, the ammonium hydrogen sulfide is decomposed into hydrogen sulfide and removed. It starts slowly at the liquid temperature of 105°C. Add potassium carbonate solution to generate potassium thiocyanate. A large amount of carbon dioxide and ammonia will be produced during the reaction. Ammonia can be recycled and used. The reaction solution is filtered to remove insoluble matter, evaporated under reduced pressure, and then cooled, crystallized, and centrifuged to obtain industrial potassium thiocyanate. The reaction formula is as follows:
 2. The crude product is obtained by the metathesis reaction of potassium salt and ammonium thiocyanate. The purification method is to recrystallize multiple times in boiling ethanol, and then at 100 ℃, dry under reduced pressure and store in a desiccator filled with concentrated sulfuric acid. 3.Use ammonium thiocyanate conversion method. Sulfur dioxide and ammonia are synthesized under pressure to generate ammonium thiocyanate and by-product ammonium thiocyanate. The ammonium thiocyanate is decomposed into hydrogen sulfide and removed through desulfurization and evaporation. Potassium carbonate solution is slowly added when the liquid temperature is 105°C, that is Potassium thiocyanate is generated.

Purpose

1. Analytical reagent, used to identify ferric iron, copper, silver and conduct urine tests. It is also an indicator for legal titanium. It is used as stripping agent and refrigerant in the electroplating industry; it can also be used in the dye industry, photography industry, pesticides and other fields.

2.Packaged in plastic barrels lined with polyethylene plastic bags, with net weight of 25kg or 40kg per barrel. This product is easily deliquescent and should be stored in a ventilated, dry and clean warehouse. Do not pressure. Protect from rain and sunlight during transportation. Do not store or transport together with acid or food.

3.Used for cyanide copper plating, cyanide silver plating and removal of nickel plating on copper and copper-tin alloy substrates It is mainly used as an additive in solutions such as black nickel plating and silver plating electrolyte.

4. Used as corrosion inhibitor in detergents.
