Water treatment with CN [Brazil] 

+++

Which is the ideal treatment for an effluent of brass/copper bath with CN (NaCN, CuCN, Zn(CN)2? As I can eliminate the CN and precipitate the metallics ions?

The ideal treatment always depends on the circumstances, Diogo, but the most comon treatment is 2-stage alkaline chlorination using either hypochlorite or chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide.
