Reducing Interferences in Cyanide Analysis - Automated, Distillation Free Methods

Due to its high toxicity and as a tell-tale sign of industrial activity, cyanide analysis is routinely performed in many analytical labs, including environmental laboratories on both water and soil samples. Due to the complexity of cyanide chemistry, it is both a challenging analysis that can lend itself to interferences and a time consuming analysis. This presentation reviews the different methods with their accepted standards, and shows the advantages of a high throughput, distillation free methods for both free and total cyanide.
