Sodium cyanide is primarily used as reagent in the mining activity, especially for the extraction of precious metals. More than three quarters of global sodium cyanide demand arises from the silver and gold processing application.

Sodium hydrosulfide is a chemical compound that is represented using the formula NaHS. Sodium hydrosulfide is colorless or yellow crystals. The compound has a melting point at 350oC. Sodium hydrosulfide is readily soluble in alcohol and water. Sodium hydrosulfide has a molecular mass of 56.6. The aqueous solution of sodium hydrosulfide usually has alkaline reactions. Sodium hydrosulfide is a compound that is formed by neutralizing hydrogen sulfide with sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydrosulfide is an essential reagent that is used for the synthesis of inorganic and organic sulfur compound. Sodium hydrosulfide is solid in nature; however, it is often used as an aqueous solution. Solid sodium hydrosulfide is highly hygroscopic in nature. However, sodium hydrosulfide is more stable in solutions as they get slowly oxidized in air.

Next generation lighting achieves a complete replacement of incandescent filament bulbs with LED lighting that is more energy efficient, lasts longer and has a significantly lower cost of operation.

Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is one of the most suitable technologies for providing a hard, wear-resistant coating on medical devices and surgical instruments. The biocompatibility of PVD coatings without any change in sensitive steel tools makes it a suitable technology for metal deposition needed in the medical industry.

The global propionic acid market has been exhibiting steady growth in the last few years. Potential market opportunities in developing countries are likely to further boost the growth potential of the global propionic market during the forthcoming years. Propionic acid (CH3CH2COOH) is a colorless liquid that emits a pungent odor and is miscible in water. It is a naturally occurring carboxylic acid and is used extensively in the manufacture of several salts and esters. The use of propionic acid as a flavoring agent in the food and beverages industry has increased substantially in the last few years. However, it is mainly used as a preservative in both human food and animal feeds. Propionic acid helps in inhibiting bacterial growth or molds on agricultural yields, which explains its high demand across economies that are mainly driven by agriculture.

Diethyl phthalate (DEP), also known as phthalol or solvanol in the industry, is a diethyl ester of phthalic acid. It is a colorless, oily liquid with slight odor. It is soluble in most common solvents such as acetone and alcohols and partly soluble in cold water. It is not flammable at room temperature, however, releases a mixture of toxic smoke when combusted. It is acutely toxic to humans and can cause damage to the liver and Central Nervous System (CNS). Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is biodegradable but breaks down into toxic chemicals and potentially harmful for the microorganisms in the soil. Phthalic anhydride is manufactured commercially, through the oxo process and/or the ald-ox process involving ethanol and the oxidation of naphthalene or o-xylene. This phthalic anhydride is then utilized for the production of diethyl phthalate (DEP) by reacting it with ethanol in the presence of catalyzing amount of concentrated sulfuric acid. The diethyl phthalate (DEP) produced has a purity higher than 99.7%.

Azo compounds, as defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), are alkyl or aryl derivatives of diimide (RN=NR'), popularly known as diazene derivatives. Azo compounds are synthesized by oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons (hydrazinnes). The azo compounds contain closed rings of benzene combined by azo links. Azo pigments are used for organic red, yellow and orange pigments. Azo compounds are used as organic pigments and dyes by a wide range of industries, especially in paints for artists. An azo pigment is a colorless particle (usually earth or clay materials), which has been colored by using azo compounds. Azo pigments have exquisite coloring features along with lightfastness. The lightfastness of the azo pigment depends upon the characteristic features of the pigment carrier as well as the way the organic azo compound has been absorbed upon the pigment carrier.
