Sodium Cyanide wrongly added to Potassium Cyanide based Silver Plating Solution




April 7, 2011

A plater by mistake has added 10 kg (22.4lb)of sodium cyanide instead of KCN to a potassium cyanide based silver plating solution. The operating limit of free KCN is
8 - 12 oz.wt/gal.
What will be the effect on the plating deposit quality, if used as it is and the KCN addition done in the future?

No harm done.
There are platers who use a combination of potassium and sodium cyanide for silver plating.
