What is Sodium ferrocyanide decahydrate?
Sodium ferrocyanide decahydrate (CAS 14434-22-1) is an inorganic iron-cyanide salt in fully hydrated crystalline form.
Where is Sodium ferrocyanide decahydrate used?
- Food processing: anti-caking agent in salt and salt substitutes, preventing clumping during storage
- Mining: metal separation and precipitation, selectively binding heavy metal ions for ore processing and effluent treatment
- Textile and leather: dyeing and finishing, controlled iron complexation stabilizes color baths
- Paper manufacturing: process water treatment by sequestering metal ions that interfere with bleaching and pulp quality
- It functions as a chelating and sequestering agent.
Good to know: Buyers should confirm purity levels and moisture content when sourcing for regulated food or mining applications.
