Potassium ferrocyanide is the potassium salt of the coordination complex. This salt forms lemon-yellow monoclinic crystals.

Historically, the compound was manufactured from organic compounds containing nitrogen, iron filings, and potassium carbonate. Common nitrogen and carbon sources were torrified horn, leather scrap, offal, or dried blood.

Applications

Potassium ferrocyanide finds many niche applications in the industry. It and the related sodium salt are widely used as anticaking agents for both road salt and table salt. The potassium and sodium ferrocyanides are also used in the purification of tin and the separation of copper from molybdenum ores. Potassium ferrocyanide is used in the production of wine and citric acid.

In the laboratory, potassium ferrocyanide is used to determine the concentration of potassium permanganate, a compound often used in titrations based on redox reactions. Potassium ferrocyanide is used in a mixture with potassium ferricyanide and phosphate-buffered solution to provide a buffer for beta-galactosidase, which is used to cleave X-Gal, giving a bright blue visualization where an antibody (or other molecules), conjugated to Beta-gal, has bonded to its target. On reacting with Fe it gives a Prussian blue color. Thus it is used as an identifying reagent for iron in labs.

Application

It is used in the manufacture of pigments, printing and dyeing oxidation AIDS, paints, inks, potassium hematite, explosives and chemical reagents. It is also used in iron and steel heat treatment, lithography, engraving and pharmaceutical industries. Its food additive grade products are mainly used as anti caking agents for table salt.

Applications:

1)Food grade is mainly used as food additive, such as: anticaking agent in table salt or to remove heavy metal ions (iron, copper, zinc, etc.) from wine, soy protein...  

2)Industry grade is mainly used to produce iron blue and potassium ferricyanide, or used in paint, printing ink, coloring matter, leather industry, pharmacy, heat treatment of metal, metallurgy and other industries. 

3)Chemical reagent grade is mainly used in high-tech fields such as microelectronics, aerospace. 

4)Pharmaceutical industry is used as flocculant, can achieve the ideal in the process, improve the quality of medicine.
