    Brief Overview

    Potassium gold cyanide is a colorless to white crystalline powder industrially used as plating and surface treating agents.

     

    Manufacturing Process

    Potassium gold cyanide is produced in the cyanide process variant of gold mining. The chemical reaction for the dissolution of gold is
                                           4 Au + 8 KCN + O2 + 2 H2O → 4 KAu(CN)2 + 4 KOH
    In this redox process via a two-step reaction, oxygen removes one electron from each gold atom to form the complex Au(CN)−2 ion.

    Metal Industry

    Component in gold plating
    Material used for photoreduction of gold ions by nanopowder ZnO, preparation of gold-gold junction electrodes in voltammetric glucose detection, and other reactions where metallic gold is prepared
