Sodium ferrocyanide is produced industrially from hydrogen cyanide, ferrous chloride, and calcium hydroxide, the combination of which affords Ca 2 [Fe(CN) 6]·11H 2 O.A solution of this salt is then treated with sodium salts to precipitate the mixed calcium-sodium salt CaNa 2 [Fe(CN) 6] 2, which in turn is treated with sodium carbonate to give the tetrasodium salt.
The iron in this material is all ferrous, hence the absence of deep color associated with the mixed valency. Oxidation of this white solid with hydrogen peroxide or sodium chlorate produces ferricyanide and affords Prussian blue. [23] A "soluble" form, KFe 3+ [Fe 2+ (CN) 6], which is really colloidal, can be made from potassium ferrocyanide and ...
Ferrocyanide is the name of the anion [Fe 6] 4−. Salts of this coordination complex give yellow solutions. It is usually available as the salt potassium ferrocyanide, which has the formula K 4 Fe(CN) 6. [Fe(CN) 6] 4− is a diamagnetic species, featuring low-spin iron(II) center in an octahedral ligand environment.

Potassium hexacyanidoferrate(II) finds many niche applications in industry. It and the related sodium salt are widely used as anticaking agents for both road salt and table salt. The potassium and sodium hexacyanidoferrates(II) are also used in the purification of tin and the separation of copper from molybdenum ores.
An older cyanide antidote kit included administration of three substances: amyl nitrite pearls (administered by inhalation), sodium nitrite, and sodium thiosulfate. The goal of the antidote was to generate a large pool of ferric iron (Fe 3+) to compete for cyanide with cytochrome a 3 (so that cyanide will bind to the antidote rather than the ...

Most commercial electroplating of cadmium is done by electrodeposition from cyanide baths. These cyanide baths consist of cadmium oxide and sodium cyanide in water, which likely form cadmium cyanide and sodium hydroxide. A typical formula is 32 g/L cadmium oxide and 75 g/L sodium cyanide. The cadmium concentration may vary by as much as 50%.
