Sodium ferrocyanide decahydrate

Sodium ferrocyanide decahydrate (CAS 14434-22-1 ) is an inorganic iron-cyanide salt supplied in its fully hydrated crystalline form. It functions as a chelating and sequestering agent across food processing, mining, and industrial manufacturing.

Its stability under normal handling conditions makes it suitable for regulated and technical applications alike. In food processing, it is approved as an anti-caking agent in salt and salt substitutes, preventing clumping during storage.

Mining operations use it in metal separation and precipitation processes, where it selectively binds heavy metal ions to aid in ore processing and effluent treatment. This ensures efficient recovery and environmental compliance.

Textile and leather industries apply it in dyeing and finishing processes, where controlled iron complexation helps stabilize color baths. This prevents unwanted oxidation and ensures consistent results across production batches.

In paper manufacturing, it supports process water treatment by sequestering metal ions that would otherwise interfere with bleaching and pulp quality. This helps maintain the brightness and structural integrity of the final paper products.

Sodium ferrocyanide decahydrate is supplied as yellow crystalline powder or granules. Food-grade material is available meeting specifications for use as a direct food additive, ensuring safety and compliance with global standards.

Technical-grade product is also supplied for industrial applications where high-volume processing is required. Buyers should confirm purity levels and moisture content when sourcing for regulated food or mining applications.
