2. Immediately before use, prepare a 0.200 mg/L cyanide working solution by
diluting 2.00 mL of the 100 mg/L stock solution to 1000 mL using
deionized water.
3. To adjust the calibration curve using the reading obtained with the
0.200 mg/L standard solution, touch

Summary of Method
The Pyridine-Pyrazalone method used for measuring cyanide gives an intense
blue color with free cyanide. A sample distillation is required to determine
cyanide from transition and heavy metal cyanide complexes. Test results are
measured at 612 nm.
