Product Description
Used in metal extraction, adhesives, computer electronics, fire retardants, cosmetics, dyes, nylon, paints, inks, plexiglass, rocket propellant and as nitrogen source in gardening. It removes copper from wine.
Potassium ferrocyanide finds many niche applications in industry. It is widely used as anticaking agents for both road salt and table salt. The potassium ferrocyanide is also used in the purification of tin and the separation of copper from molybdenum ores. Potassium ferrocyanide is used in the production of wine and citric acid.
In the EU, ferrocyanides (E 535–538) were, as of 2017, solely authorised in two food categories as salt substitutes. Kidneys are the organ for ferrocyanide toxicity.
It can also be used in animal feed.
In the laboratory, potassium ferrocyanide is used to determine the concentration of potassium permanganate, a compound often used in titrations based on redox reactions. Potassium ferrocyanide is used in a mixture with potassium ferricyanide and phosphate buffered solution to provide a buffer for beta-galactosidase, which is used to cleave X-Gal, giving a bright blue visualization where an antibody (or other molecule), conjugated to Beta-gal, has bonded to its target. On reacting with Fe(3) it gives a Prussian blue colour. Thus it is used as an identifying reagent for iron in labs.
Potassium ferrocyanide can be used as a fertilizer for plants.
