I have a problem with an analysis. Can anybody help me with how to test Potassium Cyanide in Copper plating solution?

Avel Berroya, you can have the analysis from metalfinishing.com, then go to chemical analysis of plating solutions or control, analysis and testing.

That's not hard. Combine 5.0 ml of plating bath with about 100 ml of distilled water in a flask. Add about a gram of potassium iodide, and swirl the flask until it is dissolved. Then, titrate the mixture with 0.1 N silver nitrate solution. The endpoint is a persistant yellowish white cloudiness. Then, multiply the mls silver nitrate used by 0.347 for "free" potassium cyanide, in ounces per gallon.
