FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is Potassium Ferrocyanide Trihydrate interchangeable with other ferrocyanides or ferricyanides?
A: No. CAS 14459-95-1 identifies Potassium Ferrocyanide Trihydrate, K4[Fe(CN)6]·3H2O. Sodium or calcium ferrocyanides and Potassium Ferricyanide have different identities, formula weights and specifications. State the trihydrate form, CAS number and intended use. -
Q:
Which specifications matter for Potassium Ferrocyanide Trihydrate?
A: Confirm assay and method, water or trihydrate basis, insoluble matter, chloride, sulfate, ferricyanide, free cyanide and destination-specific metal limits. Food, feed and technical uses have different authorization and purity requirements, so the quotation should match the application. -
Q:
What is Potassium Ferrocyanide Trihydrate used for?
A: It is evaluated in metal treatment, pigment or cyanide-chemistry processes and selected permitted food or feed applications where the trihydrate form is specified. The intended regulatory category and process conditions should be stated because food-grade and technical-grade requirements are different. -
Q:
What are the key physical properties of Potassium Ferrocyanide Trihydrate?
A: Potassium Ferrocyanide Trihydrate is a yellow crystalline solid with formula K4[Fe(CN)6].3H2O, molar mass about 422.39 g/mol and melting point around 70 C with loss of water of crystallization. It is freely soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol, with density about 1.85-1.889 g/cm3. -
Q:
How should Potassium Ferrocyanide Trihydrate be stored and handled?
A: Store in tightly closed, moisture-protective containers in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from strong acids, heat and incompatible oxidizers. Avoid dust generation and contact with acid vapors, use appropriate PPE and follow the current safety information for handling and spill control.
