EPA set an enforceable standard for cyanide, called a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL), at 0.2 mg/L or 200 ppb under the Chemical Phase Rule V (57 FR 31776-31849, Vol. 57, No.

The free cyanide is determined spectrophotometrically by measuring the absorbance of the sample and determining the concentration through comparison with a standard calibration curve (Sec. 11.3). 2.3 Solids are first extracted prior to analysis using pH 12.3-12.5 NaOH solution (Sec. 11.1).

Cyanide Amenable to Chlorination (CATC) CATC refers to cyanide complexes that dissociate and oxidize when exposed to chlorine under alkaline conditions. 4 CATC consists of free cyanide and weak acid dissociable cyanide complexes.

EPA set an enforceable standard for cyanide, called a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL), at 0.2 mg/L or 200 ppb under the Chemical Phase Rule V (57 FR 31776-31849, Vol. 57, No.

Cyanides amenable to chlorination provides a conservative estimate of toxicity because, in addition to free cyanide, it recovers some weak acid dissociable metal cyanide complexes that may or may not actually release free cyanide in the environment.

Total cyanide is determined analytically through strong acid distillation or UV radiation and exposure to strong acid followed by analysis of liberated free cyanide. In water, total cyanide includes the following dissolved species: free cyanide, weak metal cyanide complexes and strong metal cyanide complexes.

Cyanides amenable to chlorination provides a conservative estimate of toxicity because, in addition to free cyanide, it recovers some weak acid dissociable metal cyanide complexes that may or may not actually release free cyanide in the environment.

The World Health Organisation recommends that people should not consume water with a cyanide concentration above 0.5 mg/L for more than 5 days. This is to protect against short term health risks.
