Abstract
Cyanide ions (CN<sup>−</sup>) are widely used in chemical and industrial processes, but not only can they cause environmental pollution, what is worse is that when a small amount of cyanide enters the human body, in the less severe cases, they pose health risks, and in the more severe cases, they can lead to death.
