Editing Cyanide (section)

===Redox===
The cyanide ion is a [[reducing agent|reductant]] and is [[oxidation|oxidized]] by strong [[oxidizing agent]]s such as molecular [[chlorine]] ({{chem2|Cl2}}), [[hypochlorite]] ({{chem2|ClO-}}), and [[hydrogen peroxide]] ({{chem2|H2O2}}). These oxidizers are used to destroy cyanides in [[effluent]]s from [[gold mining]].<ref name="Young_1995">Young, C. A., & Jordan, T. S. (1995, May).
