Poison by
intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by
ingestion. Causes irritation of the
gastrointestinal tract. An herbicide. It is said
to be slowly metabolized in the body to
cyanide but does not have high toxicity of
cyanides. When heated to decomposition it
emits very toxic fumes of CNand K2O. | [Hazardous Substances Data]

| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Potassium cyanate, KCNO, white solid, soluble, formed along with lead metal by reaction of potassium cyanide and lead monoxide solids upon heating. Source of cyanate. | [Chemical Properties]
Potassium cyanate, KOCN,is colorless,water soluble crystals. Used as an herbicide and for the manufacture of drugs and organic chemicals,
| [Definition]
ChEBI: Potassium cyanate is a cyanate salt and a one-carbon compound. It has a role as a herbicide. | [General Description]
Potassium cyanate can be prepared by reacting urea with alkali hydroxide or carbonates at high temperatures. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Notclassified | [Synthesis]
ErnerW synthesized potassium cyanate from potassium carbonate and urea, using sulfoxide or sulfone as a solvent [9]. The invention is characterized by the use of solvents with strong solvency for urea and potassium carbonate, such as methyl ethyl sulfoxid | [Purification Methods]
Common impurities include ammonia and bicarbonate ion (from hydrolysis). Purify it by preparing a saturated aqueous solution at 50o, neutralising with acetic acid, filtering, adding two volumes of EtOH and keeping for 3-4hours in an ice bath. (More EtOH can lead to co-precipitation of KHCO3.) Filter, wash it with EtOH and dry it rapidly in a vacuum desiccator (P2O5). The process is repeated [Vanderzee & Meyers J Chem Soc 65 153 1961]. |
