Page/Page column 6, (2008/06/13)
A process is described for preparing sodium dicyanamide, in which cyanamide is reacted simultaneously with sodium hydroxide solution and cyanogen chloride in aqueous solution at temperatures of 20 to 100° and a pH of 7.0 to 10.0. By means of the inventive process it is possible, starting from raw materials which are available in technical-grade quality, to prepare sodium dicyanamide in good yields of 75 to 95% and very high purities of up to 100% in a very environmentally friendly manner, for which reason this process is particularly highly suitable for the industrial scale.
