cyanamide Chem.|saɪˈænəmaɪd|
[f. cyan- 2 + amide.]
The amide of cyanogen CN2H2, a white crystalline body; also, a salt of this compound, in which one or both of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by another element or radical; spec. = calcium cyanamide (CaCn2), used as a fertilizer and as a source of other nitrogen compounds.
cyanamide process, the production of calcium cyanamide by the reaction between calcium carbide (CaC2) and nitrogen at a high temperature.
