How to make potassium cyanide from potassium gold cyanide ?

Hi, cousin Saqib. Is it possible that you transposed words in your question and you actually wish to make potassium gold cyanide from potassium cyanide? If so, we have many threads on that subject including threads 2236, 4477, and 34704.

If you really wish to make potassium cyanide from PGC, I have to say "huh?" because potassium cyanide is an inexpensive commodity chemical whereas PGC is a very expensive precious metal salt. It's like asking how to extract water from Dom Perignon, and doesn't seem to make sense. Can you explain why you would want to do that? Thanks!

Regards,

Ted Mooney, P.E.
