Cyanide from Cyanuric acid
Is there a known method for producing a cyanide salt from Cyanuric acid?
Cyanuric acid is easitly made by heating TCCA to release the chlorine, or by heating UREA to release ammonia gas.
As it is a cyclic compounds of cyanic acid (HOCN) im sure the cyanate salt could easily be made, but what about cyanide?

CN salts are cheap; why would you want to do such a thing?

They may be cheap, but they are restricted.
A lot of people are interested in making cyanide, and i thought there could be a way from cyanuric acid.

Use the search engine, or Google restricted to this domain, or just look through old threads, the topic has been covered in the past.

"Google restricted to this domain" how do you do that?

I think you can just do something like this in the search bar.
Site:sciencemadness.org Cyanide
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=f...
Hopefully that link shows you what I did.
You can do a lot of other things, such as Filetype DF and other things to find
PDF documents, Music files, etc.

Please search this forum before opening new threads. This topic has been discussed to depth in the cyanide thread already. Alkali cyanates are easily
made from cyanuric acid by either heating alkali cyanurates to >200°C or heating cyanuric acid with alkali carbonates to >300°C. It is the
reduction of alkali cyanates to alkaly cyanides that is problematic. All the references and patents are already cited in the aforementioned thread.
Also, cyanuric acid is not "easitly made by heating TCCA to release the chlorine". Heating trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) above its mp causes its
decomposition to all kind of nasty gasses, but obviously no cyanuric acid can ever form as there simply is no H in TCCA. TCCA needs to be either
hydrolysed or reduced to yield cyanuric acid (which can generally be bought from the same source as TCCA anyway).
…there is a human touch of the cultist “believer” in every theorist that he must struggle against as being
unworthy of the scientist. Some of the greatest men of science have publicly repudiated a theory which earlier they hotly defended. In this lies their
scientific temper, not in the scientific defense of the theory. - Weston La Barre (Ghost Dance, 1972)
