Cyanides in the environment—analysis—problems and challenges
PublicationCyanide toxicity and their environmental impact are well known. Nevertheless, they are still used in the mining, galvanic and chemical industries. As a result of industrial activities, cyanides are released in various forms to all elements of the environment. In a natural environment, cyanide exists as cyanogenic glycosides in plants seeds. Too much consumption can cause unpleasant side effects. However, environmental tobacco smoke...

Air-sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) technology for cyanide recovery
PublicationPrzewoźną instalację wyposażoną w napowietrzane reaktory cyklonowe zbadano pod kątem przydatności w procesie ciągłego odpędzania i absorpcji HCN z kopalnianych wód procesowych. Zastosowanie reaktora cyklonowego pozwoliło na ponad 99% absorpcję HCN podczas jednego przejścia fazy gazowej przez reaktor. Natomiast uzyskana efektywność odpędzania HCN, zależna przede wszystkim od stałej Henry'ego, przekroczyła 40% dla jednego przejścia...

Photo-oxidation of dissolved cyanide using TiO2 catalyst
PublicationZbadano utlenianie katalityczne jonów cyjankowych w układzie UV/TiO2. Szybkość utleniania zbadano dla różnego stężenia początkowego CN-, wartość pH, formy katalizatora, temperatury oraz wprowadzanej formy gazowej. Stwierdzono że szybkość degradacji cyjanków w układzie UV/TiO2/O2 wzrasta dwukrotnie, jakkolwiek jest niezależna od ciśnienia cząstkowego tlenu (0,2-1,0 atm.). Wzrost temperatury środowiska reakcji w zakresie od 20 do...

Determination of cyanide ion in urine samples using ion chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection.
PublicationCyanides are widely applied in industrial activity, including gold and silver mining and the production of organic chemicals. HCN is also formed directly from fossil fuel combustion sources from gasoline and diesel vehicles. In natural environment, in plants seeds for example an apple seed, it exists as a cyanogenic glycosides. The amount of cyanide ions originating from food products is however rather small. Larger concentrations...

Determination of Formaldehyde and Cyanide Ion in Human Nasal Discharge by Using Simple Spectrophotometric Methods
PublicationEnvironmental tobacco smoke (ETS) contains many toxic compounds which include substances classified as aldehydes (e.g. formaldehyde) and inorganic substances such as cyanide ions. The information on the determination of these compounds in water is available, but the monitoring data on the level of these substances in human body fluids are still lacking. In this work the procedure for determining cyanide ions and formaldehyde in...

Application of ion chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection for the determination of trace cyanide in biological samples, including breast milk
PublicationCyanide (CN) is the biomarker of exposure to the components of tobacco smoke, although its presence in biological samples is also due to the consumption of products containing cyanogenic glycosides. In this work, we determine the concentration of the free cyanide in urine, saliva and breast milk matrices, using ion chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (IC-PAD). IC-PAD is an emerging method, with only few documented...
