Useful:

• Uses: Applied in formation of a xerogel via a cyanogel the gel has potential use in solid-state gas sensors.1 Moderately strong oxidizer when coupled with ferricyanide. Potassium ferrocyanide is a yellow crystal also known as yellow prussiate of potash. It was made by stirring hot potassium carbonate with wool or horn clippings with an iron rod. It is soluble in water 1:4 but not in alcohol. Potassium ferrocyanide was used as a developer for some iron processes and as an additive for alkaline pyro developers.
