Basic Info
Common Name | Thiocyanate(F03340) |
2D Structure | |
Description | Thiocyanates are a group of compounds formed from a combination of sulfur, carbon, and nitrogen. Thiocyanates are found in various foods and plants and are produced primarily from the reaction of free cyanide with sulfur. This reaction occurs in the environment (for example, in industrial waste streams that contain cyanide) and in the human body after cyanide ingestion. Thiocyanates are present in water primarily because of discharges from coal processing, extraction of gold and silver, and mining industries. Thiocyanate is the major product formed from cyanide that passes into the body as the body attempts to rid itself of cyanide. (L191) |
