HCN-derived polymers are a heterogeneous group of complex substances synthesized from
pure HCN; from its salts; from its oligomers, specifically its trimer and tetramer, amino-nalono …

Organophosphates were likely an important class of prebiotic molecules. However, their
presence on the early Earth is strongly debated because the low availability of phosphate …

Herein, the potential of alkaline hydrothermal environments for the synthesis of possible
ancestral pre-RNA nucleobases using cyanide as a primary source of carbon and nitrogen …

Traditionally, the effect of mineral surfaces on increasing molecular complexity has been
considered a major issue in studies about the origin of life. In contrast, herein, the effects of …

The influence of the surface characteristics of corn-straw biochar catalyst for the
simultaneous removal of HCN, COS, and CS2 was studied. The results showed that the corn …

Rhodanese, a cyanide detoxifying enzyme synthesized by Klebsiella oxytoca was
immobilized on alginate-glutaraldehyde beads. K. oxytoca was isolated from industrial …

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN), a common toxic and hazardous air pollutant in industrial exhaust,
catalytic hydrolysis of HCN has been the focus of air pollution control research. In this study …

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is considered a fundamental molecule in prebiotic chemistry
experiments due to the fact that it could have an important role as raw material to form more …

Considered one of the most promising building blocks of life on primitive Earth, cyanide and
its complexes are likely to have played an important role in the emergence of life on the …

Cyanides are widely used as depressants in the selective flotation of sulphide minerals and
as gold solvents in the gold cyanidation process. Despite widespread application of cyanide …
