Cyanide Test
Cyanide may be present in water containing waste from a metal finishing
plant. It is very toxic and cannot be tolerated, even at the lowest levels. A
positive test is evidence of untreated or incompletely treated waste which
calls for more careful waste disposal control by the offending plant. Presence
of cyanide in amounts as small as 0.05 ppm can be detected by a chemical
reaction with an indicator which forms a color in proportion to the amount
of cyanide present.
