Distillation Procedures
A detailed procedure for the distillation of cyanide samples is
included with the Hach Distillation Apparatus. Three detailed
procedures, Free Cyanides, Cyanides Amenable to Chlorination,
and Total Cyanides, are included with the four- and ten-position
Midi-Dist Distillation System. See the Optional Apparatus
listing.
Summary of Method
The pyridine-pyrazolone method gives an intense blue color with
free cyanide. A sample distillation is required to determine
cyanide from transition and heavy metal cyanide complexes.
