  • Chapter 6.3 Cadmium
    Chapter 6.3 Cadmium General description Cadmium (Cd) is a soft, ductile, silver-white metal that belongs together with zinc and mercury to group IIb in the Periodic Table. It has relatively low melting (320.9 °C) and boiling (765 °C) points and a relatively high vapour pressure. In the air cadmium is rapidly oxidized into cadmium oxide. However, when reactive gases or vapour such as carbon dioxide, water vapour, sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide or hydrogen chloride are present, cadmium vapour reacts to produce cadmium carbonate, hydroxide, sulfite, sulfate or chloride, respectively. These compounds may be formed in chimney stacks and emitted to the environment. Several inorganic cadmium compounds are quite soluble in water e.g. acetate, chloride and sulfate, whereas cadmium oxide, carbonate and sulfide are almost insoluble (1). Sources Cadmium is a relatively rare element (0.2 mg/kg in the earth crust) and is not found in the pure state in the nature. It occurs mainly in association with the sulfide ores of zinc, lead and copper. Cadmium has only been produced commercially in the twentieth century. It is a by- product of the zinc industry; its production is thus determined essentially by that of zinc. Before the First World War cadmium was not usually recovered from zinc plants or other nonferrous metals plants, which resulted in an uncontrolled contamination of the environment for decades. The average annual production of cadmium throughout the world increased from only 20 tonnes in the 1920s to about 12 000 tonnes in the period 1960–1969, 17 000 tonnes in 1970–1984; since 1987 it has fluctuated around 20 000 tonnes (2,3).

  • The Dissolving Mechanisms of Cadmium and Lead in Nitric Acid
    Ind. Health, 1967, 5, 60. THE DISSOLVING MECHANISMS OF CADMIUM AND LEAD IN NITRIC ACID Noboru HARA National Institute of Industrial Health, Kizuki-Sumiyoshi, Kawasaki (Received October 3, 1966) Strong acids are very effective to destroy the organic substances and they dissolve the metallic materials at the same time. The mixed acid of concentrated sulphuric acid and nitric acid or aqua regia is suitable for this purpose, and is used widely. But they are not always effective to dissolve the metallic elements. In this experi- ment, the solubilities of cadmium and lead or their oxides in the nitric acid are determined and the dissolving mechanisms of these two metals are found not to be the same. The solubilities of lead and its oxides have their maximum at some concentration of the acid, but those of cadmium and its oxide have not. In dissolu- tion of metallic substances, therefore, concentration of acid as well as its kind should be considered. The mechanism that metallic substances dissolve in the concentrated nitric acid (more than 1 N) is not similar to that in the diluted acid (pH 1•`7). The author determined the solubilities of cadmium, lead and their oxides in the concentrated nitric acid. PROCEDURE 1. Cadmium and its oxide. Fifty ml of various concentrations of nitric acid are put in 200 ml of Erlenmeyer flasks. The sufficient of metallic cadmium and its oxide are weighed accurately, and are added into these flasks little by little. The dissolving reaction occurs at once. The flasks are cooled by cold water until the violent reactions are over.

  • Cadmium and Zinc Nitrites. 169
    View Article Online / Journal Homepage / Table of Contents for this issue RAY : CADMIUM AND ZINC NITRITES. 169 XV1.-Cadmium and Zinc Nitrites. By PRAFULLACHANDRA RAY. INview of the contradictory statements of the previous workers in this field, it seemed desirable to undertake a fresh investigation of cadmium and zinc nitrites. At the outset it may be pointed out that, so far as the nitrite- forming capacity of mercury and cadmium is concerned, the ques- tion is not one of the basic character of the metal. Mercury,* which occupies the lowest position in group IIB (in the electro- potential series), yields a fairly stable normal nitrite, because both its chloride and nitrite are very feebly dissociated in aqueous solution (RBy and Dhar, T., 1912, 101, 966). Thomsen found that mercuric oxide with its equivalent of aqueous hydrochloric acid evolves 18,920 calories, whereas with its equivalent, of nitric acid it evolves only 6400 calories, and to this difference he ascribes the reason that an aqueous solution of mercuric nitrate is completely converted into chloride by the addition of an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid. Mercuric chloride in aqueous solution is again completely converted into the cyanide by the addition of hydro- cyanic acid. Cadmium hydroxide also behaves differently towards the ordinary mineral acids. Thus, whilst zinc and magnesium hydroxides with hydrochloric, hydrobromic, and hydriodic acids, respectively, give almost the same value for the heat of neutralisa- tion, namely, about 19,500 calories, with cadmium hydroxide the heat of neutralisation goes on increasing. Thomsen regarded the behaviour of cadmium oxide towards the above acids as exceptional, and on that account he refused to class cadmium hydroxide in the Published on 01 January 1917.
