Thiocyanate appears as a colorless, volatile, strongly odorous acidic liquid. Crystals precipitate below 0℃. It is soluble in water and strongly acidic.
Uses
Thiocyanates have a wide range of uses, mainly including the following aspects:
Chemical industry: Used as a detection agent for metals such as silver and copper, and as a raw material for manufacturing thiourea, etc.
Pesticide industry: Used to manufacture fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides, etc.
Pharmaceutical industry: Used in the separation of antibiotics, etc.
Printing and dyeing industry: Used as a dye dispersant, fabric dyeing agent, etc.
Textile industry: Used as a spinning solvent for polyacrylonitrile fibers, etc.
Rubber industry: Used as a rubber treatment agent.
Organic synthesis: Used to convert haloalkanes into corresponding thiocyanates. For example, isopropyl bromide reacts with sodium thiocyanate in a hot ethanol solution to obtain isopropyl thiocyanate.
Chemical analysis: Used as an analytical reagent (masking agent, precipitant, chromogenic agent), such as the determination of niobium in steel and the determination of silver, copper, and iron, etc.
Dairy industry: Used as an antifungal preservative. Combined with hydrogen peroxide for milk preservation, it has an antifungal effect.
Motion picture film: Used as a developer for color motion picture film.
Chemical cleaning: Used as an acid pickling inhibitor to prevent corrosion by high-valence metal ions.
Other fields: Used as defoliants for certain plants and herbicides for airport roads.
