What is cadmium sulfate used for?

Answer 1

These are the uses of Cadmium occurs as a minor component in most zinc ores and therefore is a byproduct of zinc production. Cadmium was used for a long time as a pigment and for corrosion resistant plating on steel. Cadmium compounds were used to stabilize plastic. With the exception of its use innickel-cadmium batteries and cadmium telluride solar panels, the use of cadmium is generally decreasing in its other applications. These declines have been due to competing technologies, cadmium's toxicity in certain forms and concentration and resulting regulations [4]. Although cadmium is toxic, one enzyme, a carbonic anhydrase with cadmium as reactive center has been discovered.

Answer 2

Cadmium is ideal particularly for rechargable batteries in such items as RC models etc. The energy density is more suitable for most applications that its Ni-MH and Li-ion rivals. Cadmium batteries are also capable of handling higher surges of power, as well as longer periods of neglection, than their rivals.

Answer 3

Cadmium ore: Greenockite (CdS), is the only cadmium source of importance. Cadmium is nearly always associated with sphalerite (ZnS). Cadmium is produced as a byproduct from sulfide ores of zinc.

Answer 4

Cadmium sulfate is often used in the production of rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries due to its ability to conduct electricity. It is also used in pigments, electroplating, and research applications. Additionally, cadmium sulfate is sometimes used as a precursor for the synthesis of other cadmium compounds.

Answer 5

Chemical Element, Tansition Metal, Group 12, similar to zinc and Mercury, Abundant...Used for while as a pigment and for steel plating against corrosion. Highly toxic!

Answer 6

Yes. I am not sure about others but it is definitely in Ni-Cd (Nickel - Cadium)

Answer 7

Cadmium sulfate is used for: electroplating by cadmium, as a precursor of cadmium sulfide (a pigment).
