Properties and Usage:
Cadmium (7440-43-9) is a silvery-white metallic element with high density and low melting point. It is mainly used in battery manufacturing, electroplating, coatings and alloys. However, due to its high toxicity and environmental risks, its use is strictly regulated.
1. Battery manufacturing: Cadmium is the core component of nickel-cadmium batteries (NiCd batteries), which are used in portable electronic devices, medical instruments, power tools and electric vehicles.
2. Coatings and pigments: Cadmium compounds, such as cadmium yellow and cadmium red, are often used to make high-durability pigments for ceramics, plastics and coatings. Because of their bright colors and durability, these pigments are often used in artworks, automotive coatings and architectural decoration.
3. Electronic and electrical applications: Cadmium is used as an additive to solder and semiconductor materials in the electronics industry, especially in the production of liquid crystal displays (LCDs), optoelectronic devices and solar cells.
4. Alloy manufacturing: Cadmium and other metals, such as lead and tin, form alloys with low melting points and good fluidity, which are used in the assembly of precision electronic equipment and the production of low-melting solders.
5. Optical and laser technology: Cadmium compounds, such as cadmium sulfide (CdS) and cadmium selenide (CdSe), have excellent optical properties and play an important role in photodetectors, lasers and solar cells.
6. Metallurgy and mineral extraction: Cadmium is usually produced as a by-product of lead and zinc ores. During the smelting process, environmental pollution must be strictly controlled to reduce the release of cadmium and prevent it from causing harm to the ecosystem and human health.
7.Environmental protection and waste management: Due to the high toxicity of cadmium, many countries have implemented strict waste management and recycling regulations, especially in the recycling of used batteries and electronic devices. These measures are aimed at reducing the impact of cadmium on the environment and human health and promoting its safe disposal and resource reuse.
Storage conditions: It should be stored in a cool, ventilated, dry and clean warehouse.
Packing: This product is packed in 25kg Bag or bottle, and it can also be customized according to customers' requirements
