(pH between 11.5 and 14) The cyanide being decomposed is potassium cyanide. The matrix may contain water, methanol, toluene, octane, acetone, methyl silane, acetic acid, and lithium chloride. The amount of bleach being consumed is 10X the amount of cyanide. A starch-iodide indicator shows the solution has excess bleach. What could be interfering with the cyanide decomposition?
