What is the crystallization of silver cyanide solution?

This is silver cyanide crystal. After the crystallization of silver cyanide solution, the product is silver cyanide crystal, which is white in appearance, soluble in water, and turns black quickly when exposed to light in the air. Silver cyanide crystals also have good photosensitivity and are often used as photosensitivity materials in photography and printing industries. Silver cyanide crystals are also highly toxic. For details, please refer to the Technical Specification for Safety of Hazardous Chemicals (GB 16483-2065438). Silver cyanide solution consists of cyanide ions and silver ions. Adding a very small amount of cyanide ion (CN^-) to water can combine with silver ion (Ag+) to generate silver cyanide ion (Ag (CN) 2-). Silver cyanide ion is unstable in water and easily decomposed into cyanide ion and solid silver cyanide (AgCN).
