Identification and reactions of cyanide and thiocyanate in coal gasification wastewaters. Sixth quarterly report
This report discusses: (i) procedures for preservation and identification of cyanide and thiocyanate in coal gasification wastewaters, (ii) possible pathways for aqueous phase formation of thiocyanate in these waste-waters, and (iii) reaction of cyanide and polysulfide-sulfur to produce thiocyanate....

Results of this work may help predict interrelationships among cyanide, sulfur and thiocyanate during oxidation of coal gasification wastewaters.
