Re-use of cyanate water

A client has requested us to investigate dewatering of an waste sludge steam containing around 750 ppm of cyanide. He wants to use the extracted water in a wet scrubber for dust extraction.

Do you see any problem with using the water after conversion to cyanate?? I am not sure of the exit temp of the water from the scrubber, but I assume relatively hot!
