The invention relates to a method for producing shaped inorganic cyanide bodies, especially made of alkaline metal cyanides and alkaline earth metal cyanides, by pressing particulate inorganic cyanide obtained by means of a crystallization method. According to the invention, a cyanide crystallate separated from a mother liquor by means of a solid-liquid separation device and containing 2-15 wt. % water is fed to a forming device without the addition of an auxiliary forming agent and placed under pressure and compressed to form shaped bodies containing 0.1-12 wt. % water. The amount of water contained by the shaped bodies is always less than that contained in the crystallates used for the production thereof. Preferably, the crystallite is pressed out of a rotary filter or a centrifuge at a temperature of more than 40&#xb0; C. to form shaped bodies containing 0.2-6 wt. % residual water. The inventive method can be carried out in a more economical manner than previously known methods using dried cyanide. The invention also relates to shaped inorganic cyanide bodies obtained according to said method.
