Part of the oxygen as the main oxygen into the mixer, the other part directly into the nozzle for ignition. The three kinds of raw materials are matched according to a certain proportion, and the combustion reaction for synthesizing hydrocyanic acid is carried out at a temperature of 1500 ℃. The reaction gas is quenched by water spray, cooled by a cooler, and fed into an ammonia absorption tower, ammonium sulfate can be recovered by absorbing residual ammonia in the reaction gas with 15%-20% sulfuric acid. The reaction gas containing hydrogen cyanide is water-cooled, and hydrogen cyanide is absorbed by low-temperature water to form a 15% Solution. The hydrogen cyanide with a content of 98~6 ~ 99% is obtained by rectification in a rectification column, and then absorbed, evaporated and crystallized by alkali solution, drying, molding, preparation of sodium cyanide products. The tail gas after permanent absorption of hydrogen cyanide contains 65% of hydrogen and about 30% of carbon monoxide, and can be recycled to synthetic ammonia, methanol, oxalic acid and other products.

After dust removal and cooling, the pure hydrocyanic acid is obtained by Ammonia removal, water washing, absorption and rectification, then sodium cyanide is produced by absorption with alkali solution.
