Patent GB-190422540-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Production of Technically Pure Cyanogen Compounds.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1904-10-19
Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 22,540. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Oct. 19. Cyanides; hydrocyanic acid.-Technically-pure cyanogen compounds are obtained from raw cyanide melts by addition of water and an ammonium salt and subsequent distillation. Ammonium carbonate is preferably employed, as carbonic acid is readily converted into ammonium carbonate and so can be used indirectly for liberating hydrocyanic acid from the melt. The distillation is preferably carried out in vacuo, with a condensing column for the gases evolved ; a lower temperature can thus be used and the hydrocyanic acid is not so liable to be saponified. Any sulphur in the melt is distilled over in the free state or as ammonium sulphide and may be removed from the ammonium cyanide by suitable salts of the heavy metals. The ammonium cyanide is worked up without delay by the addition of acid or alkali. When raw alkaline-earth cyanides are used, the carbonates obtained can be re-used, and the ammonium carbonate does not distil over. An example is given in which crude potassium cyanide solution is distilled after addition of ammonium chloride, the distillate is collected in warm caustic soda solution, the sodium cyanide solution is evaporated down (preferably in vacuo), and the ammonia is collected. Another example is given in which raw barium cyanide, such as that obtained by Margueritte and Sourdeval's process, is treated with carbonic-acid gas to neutralize the barium hydrate, and then ammonium carbonate is added ; the mixture is stirred and is distilled in vacuo. The distillate is collected and worked up as in the previous example, or it is collected in acid, and hydrocyanic acid is obtained. Caustic potash may be substituted for caustic soda in the above processes.
