Thread Content

Introduction to the applications of downstream products related to hydrocyanic acid: Hydroxyacetonitrile: This substance is widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, electroplating, mineral processing, and surfactants; it can serve as an intermediate in the production of glycine, malononitrile, and indigo dyes. After ammoniation, it can also serve as an effective acaricide. Iminodiacetonitrile: Iminodiacetonitrile is primarily used in the synthesis of the herbicide glyphosate. Furthermore, as an important fine chemical intermediate, it has a wide range of applications in fields such as dyes, electroplating, water treatment, and synthetic resins. Its main uses are as follows: (1) Applications in pesticides – Imidodiacetonitrile is primarily used in the pesticide industry as a raw material for producing the herbicide glyphosate. Glyphosate is currently the most potent systemic, translocated broad-spectrum organophosphorus pesticide with herbicidal activity; it boasts numerous advantages and promising application prospects, and was rated as the best pesticide by the United States in 2002. (2) Applications in cleaning agents: It is mainly used in the production of iminodiacetic acid as a chelating cleaning agent, with global consumption of around 100,000 tons per year. It can partially replace EDTA and other chelating agents. Sodium xanthate: An important raw material mainly used in the pharmaceutical, pigment, tanning, metallurgical, and chemical industries. Used as a raw material for iron blue and hematite salt ； Used for tanning, anti-corrosion treatment of metal surfaces, carburizing of carbon steel, iron removal in pharmaceuticals, as an oxidizing agent, as a food additive, ** and as a chemical reagent. Additive used for melting snow in winter to prevent caking. Sodium cyanide: mainly used in the production of acrylic glass, nitrile rubber, and polymers of synthetic fibers ； Used in the production of cyanuric chloride, pharmaceuticals, etc. Used in the metallurgical industry to extract precious metals such as gold and silver. Anilinoacetonitrile: Anilinoacetonitrile is an intermediate in the production of indigo, primarily used for dyeing denim. Iminodiacetic acid: This product is an important raw material and intermediate for pesticides, rubber, surfactants, food additives, the electroplating industry, materials for the surface treatment of synthetic metals, and ion exchange resins ； In agriculture, its main use is in the production of the herbicide glyphosate ； This product is a pharmaceutical intermediate, and its complex serves as an anticancer drug and an important raw material.
