Product Profile

Chemical Characteristics

Zinc cyanide is an inorganic coordination compound composed of zinc cations and cyanide anions. It typically appears as a white crystalline powder. While it is insoluble in water, it is soluble in alkaline cyanide solutions due to complex formation.

Supply Chain Analysis

• Upstream: The process begins with zinc metal or zinc oxide (derived from zinc mining and smelting operations) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Hydrogen cyanide is produced industrially via the Andrussow or BMA process from methane and ammonia.
• Midstream: Zinc cyanide is synthesized through the controlled reaction of zinc salts with sodium or potassium cyanide solutions. This process is followed by filtration, washing, drying, and packaging under strict environmental and safety controls due to the toxicity of cyanide.
• Downstream: Distribution typically involves specialty chemical suppliers serving electroplating formulators, fine chemical manufacturers, and laboratory reagent distributors. Transportation and storage are governed by hazardous material regulations.

2025 Industry Statistics

• Global Production: Approximately 115,000 tons
