Cadmium chloride hydrate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Cadmium chloride hydrate is White crystal

Chemical Properties

Cadmium chloride is a colorless, odorless, crystalline solid, or powder.

Uses

Cadmium chloride is also used for photocopying, dyeing and electroplating. Useful in pyrotechnic devices.

Uses

It is used for standard solutions.

Definition

ChEBI: A hydrate that is the hemipentahydrate form of cadmium dichloride.

Safety Profile

Confirmed human carcinogen. Poison by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Experimental reproductive effects. Human mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cland Cd. See also CADMIUM CHLORIDE, CADMIUM COMPOUNDS, and CHLORIDES.

Potential Exposure

Cadmium chloride is used in dyeing and printing of fabrics; in electronic component manufacture; in photography; used as a pesticide and in nonpasture turf fungicides.

Shipping

UN2570 Cadmium compounds, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required.

Incompatibilities

Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides, sulfur, selenium, potassium.

Waste Disposal

Cadmium chloride hydrate is preferred to convert the salt to the nitrate, precipitate it with H2S, filter, wash and dry the precipitate and return it to the supplier.
