CAS 333-20-0: Potassium thiocyanate

Potassium thiocyanate

Potassium thiocyanate, 0.1N standardized solution is used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of Fe(III). In Volhard’s method, it is used to determine the concentration of chloride ion by titration. It is also used as an analyzer for direct and continuous measurement of the concentration of soluble copper in an aqueous solution. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Potassium thiocyanate is used in the preparation of ethylenesulfide, lead thiocyante, which is used in the convertion of acyl chloride to thiocyanates. It is also used in solid state NMR of heavy-metal nuclei which results in the preparation of several mercury-thiocyanate and selenocyanate compounds as potential models. It finds application in cosmetic and personal care product formulations as a skin conditioning agent. Also used in moisturizers and oral care products.

Potassium thiocyanate is a salt that contains potassium and thiocyanate ions. It is a white, crystalline solid with an alkaline pH. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm for potassium thiocyanate has a maximum at a specific concentration, which indicates that the compound has high affinity for water molecules. It also has strong hypoglycemic effects in humans and animals. Potassium thiocyanate can be used to remove hydrogen fluoride from wastewater and it can also be used as an additive in phase transition temperature measurements.

Applications Potassium Thiocyanate has been used as a catalyst in a one-pot reaction of dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates with indane-1,3-dione. Potassium Thiocyanate has been used as a selective bacterial inhibitor to create ESS-3 broth to allow co-​enrichment of the target pathogens and suppress growth of some non-​target pathogens References Hassanabadi, A., Zhiani, R., et. al.: J.
