Description

Potassium silver cyanide (potassium argentocyanide) is a white solid used in silver plating, as a bactericide, and in the manufacture of antiseptics. Silver potassium cyanide is used in jewelry for chemical gilding & buffing. This substance can also be used in gold mining for the extraction of metal from ores, where sodium cyanide is more predominantly used.
