HazCat Cyanide - Sulfide Test Kit

Finds cyanide in substances with a pH of 0-14 (a cyanide mixed with a non-metallic acid precursor such as phosphorous pentoxide will have a pH of 0-1 but not release the cyanide until mixed with water).

Some cyanide salts are insoluble in water or have a neutral pH. These cyanides still react with acids and are hazardous:

• Copper-CN pH 7
• Mercuric-CN pH 8
• Silver-CN pH 8
• Zinc-CN pH 7

Features

• Finds cyanide in samples that test +ve as Oxidizers
• Works in any matrix
• If the cyanide is mixed with a paint, the test still works – it looks for hydrogen cyanide gas in the atmosphere above the sample
• Requires only 1ml of liquid sample or 1/2 spoonful of solid sample
• HAZCAT’s reagents do not have a shelf life
• Finds H2S gas in the atmosphere above the sample
• Gives a positive with a wide range of sulfide types
• Will give a +ve with Acid-volatile sulfides
  • FeS
  • Fe3S4
  • Pyrrhotite
  • Monosulfides of other metals
