The invention relates to a method for producing alkali metal cyanides as solids, comprising the steps: i) an absorption step in the form of the absorption of hydrogen cyanide from a syngas containing hydrogen cyanide in an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution; ii) a preparation step for the waste gases containing cyanide that have accumulated in step i); iii) a crystallization step in the form of the introduction of the alkali metal cyanide solution into an evaporative crystallizer; iv) a condensation step for the vapour containing cyanide that has accumulated in step iii) to obtain a vapour condensate containing cyanide; v) a recirculation step, in which the vapour condensate containing cyanide that has been obtained in step iv) is used as an aqueous liquid in step ii).

Efficient method for decontaminating waste gases and waste water containing cyanide in a method for producing alkali metal cyanides

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of alkali metal cyanides as a solid substance, comprising the steps of: i) an absorption step in the form of an absorption of hydrogen cyanide from a hydrogen cyanide-containing synthesis gas in an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution; ii) a crystallization step in the form of introducing said alkali metal cyanide solution into an evaporative crystallizer; iii) a separation step; iv) a recycle step; v) a drying step.
