text: With other reaction conditions being substantially constant, short contact times which provide adequate ammonia conversion are preferred to achieve high yields of hydrocyanic acid, rather than longer contact times giving equivalent ammonia conversion; this is due primarily to the fact that the hydrocyanic acid, as well as the hydrocarbons and ammonia, is unstable with respect to its elements at the elevated temperatures in the fluid bed.
