  • Cadmium- Toxfaqs™
    Cadmium- ToxFAQs™ CAS # 7440-43-9 This fact sheet answers the most frequently asked health questions (FAQs) about cadmium. For more information, call the CDC Information Center at 1-800-232-4636. This fact sheet is one in a series of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you understand this information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present. HIGHLIGHTS: Exposure to cadmium happens mostly in the workplace where cadmium products are made. The general population is exposed from breathing cigarette smoke or eating cadmium contaminated foods. Cadmium damages the kidneys, lungs, and bones. Cadmium has been found in at least 1,014 of the 1,669 National Priorities List (NPL) sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). What is cadmium? How might I be exposed to cadmium? Cadmium is a natural element in the earth’s crust. It is • Eating foods containing cadmium; low levels are usually found as a mineral combined with other elements found in all foods (highest levels are found in leafy such as oxygen (cadmium oxide), chlorine (cadmium vegetables, grains, legumes, and kidney meat). chloride), or sulfur (cadmium sulfate, cadmium sulfide). • Smoking cigarettes or breathing cigarette smoke. All soils and rocks, including coal and mineral fertilizers, • Breathing contaminated workplace air. contain some cadmium. Most cadmium used in the United States is extracted during the production of other metals • Drinking contaminated water. like zinc, lead, and copper.

The single crystal X-ray structures of 1 and 2 are also reported. Thermogravimetric analysis of 1 and 2 showed that both precursors decompose cleanly in a single step to produce their respective metal sulfides. The deposition of thin films was carried out on soda glass substrates in the 350{450 ◦ C temperature range under inert conditions. The as-deposited thin films were characterized by powdered X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Thin films of CdS deposited at low temperature (350 ◦ C) consist of densely packed granular crystallites with an average size of ca.

  • One-Step Hydrothermal Synthesis of Thioglycolic Acid Capped Cds
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN One-step hydrothermal synthesis of thioglycolic acid capped CdS quantum dots as fuorescence Received: 1 March 2018 Accepted: 24 May 2018 determination of cobalt ion Published: xx xx xxxx Zhezhe Wang1,2, Xinxin Xing1,2, Yue Yang1,2, Rongjun Zhao1,2, Tong Zou3, Zidong Wang3 & Yude Wang2,3 Highly luminescent CdS quantum dots capped with thioglycolic acid (TGA@CdS QDs) were synthesized from cadmium chloride and thiourea as cadmium and sulfur sources via simple hydrothermal method. The room temperature photoluminescence (RTPL) properties of TGA@CdS QDs were investigated. The results indicate that the polarity of the solvent and the surface trap state resulted in the broadness Stokes shift between the maximum absorption wavelength and the emission wavelength of TGA@ CdS QDs. The Co2+ sensing properties of fuorescence determination were investigated using TGA@ CdS QDs. The as-synthesized CdS QDs exhibits the excellent selectivity and sensitivity of fuorescence quenching for cobalt ion (Co2+). The limit of detection (LOD) is as low as 0.05 μM which is much lower than maximum limit of cobalt ions in drinking water. The linear response range of Co2+ was from 0.5 to 80 μM. The sensing system revealed the advantages of low detection limit, excellent selectivity, high sensitivity, convenience and low cost. The color change of CdS QDs shows potential applications in the detection of Co2+. Cobalt, as an important micronutrient, is an essential component of vitamin B12, and plays a vitally important role in humans and biological systems1–3. However, cobalt could be a toxic compound at high concentrations which could cause many diseases such as asthma, decreased cardiac output, cardiac enlargement, heart disease, lung disease, dermatitis and vasodilation4.

This method is applicable for the determination of the H2S content of fuel gas streams at petroleum refineries. 1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherence to the requirements of this method will enhance the quality of the data obtained from air pollutant sampling methods. 2.0 Summary of Method 2.1 A sample is extracted from a source and passed through a series of midget impingers containing a cadmium sulfate (CdSO4) solution; H2S is absorbed, forming cadmium sulfide (CdS). The latter compound is then measured iodometrically. 3.0 Definitions [Reserved] 4.0 Interferences 4.1 Any compound that reduces iodine (I2) or oxidizes the iodide ion will interfere in this procedure, provided it is collected in the CdSO4 impingers. Sulfur dioxide in concentrations of 3 up to 2,600 mg/m is removed with an impinger containing a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution. Thiols precipitate with H2S. In the absence of H2S, only traces of thiols are collected. When 3 methane-and ethane-thiols at a total level of 300 mg/m are present in addition to H2S, the results 3 vary from 2 percent low at an H2S concentration of 400 mg/m to 14 percent high at an H2S concentration of 100 mg/m3.

Although many theoretical works are presented the for pressure-dependent elastic and related properties of the zinc blende crystal structure of cadmium sulfide, there is still some scarcity for the elastic, mechanical, and phonon behavior of the wurtzitic phase of this important material under pressure. In contrast to former theoretical works and methods used in literature, we report for the first time the application of a recent shell model-based interatomic potential via geometry optimization computations. Elastic constants, elastic wave velocities, bulk, Young, and shear moduli, as well as the phonon behavior of wurtzite cadmium sulfide (w-CdS) were investigated from ground state to pressures up to 5 GPa. Calculated results of these elastic parameters for the ground state of w-CdS are approximately the same as in earlier experiments and better than published theoretical data. Our results for w-CdS under pressure are also reasonable with previous calculations, and similar pressure trends were found for the mentioned quantities of w-CdS. Keywords: CdS; elastic; mechanical; phonon dispersion; wurtzite 1. Introduction Recently, the computational predictions for materials has become a valuable and rapid way to resolve the unclear subjects of solid state physics.

Usually, this material has been obtained in the nanocrystalline form by chemical route (bath deposition), using some organic molecules as precursors (hydrazine, thiourea, thioacetamide, dimethylcadmium etc.); however, some reagents commonly used in this route are costly, toxic, flammable and carcinogen [2]. Thus, some alternative routes have been explored, one of them based on processing in solid state, is called mechanical milling (MM) [3,4], where cadmium (Cd) and sulphur (S) are used as precursors for the CdS synthesis. The source of the anion sulphide is S, which has the advantage that is non-toxic for the human body. In the present work some CdS samples were prepared using a mechanochemical route (based on MM) departing from elemental powders avoiding the use of corrosive and dangerous reagents. Raw materials were: pure elements Cd and S in powder form.
