Cd, Cadmium Ore Mineral Analysis

Cadmium is a bluish-white, malleable, ductile, and easily cut element with a knife. Cadmium, which is an excellent metal as an electric conductor, is generally used in electro plating and battery production. Meanwhile, solutions of cadmium and its compounds are toxic. It is in solid state at room temperature. Its melting point is 320, the boiling point is around 770 degrees.

The only mineral containing cadmium is greenockite. There is not much cadmium in nature. It is mostly found in small amounts of zinc ores. Cadmium is mostly found in the USA, Bolivia, Guatemala, Hungary and Kazakhstan. It is a by-product obtained from the processing of almost all cadmium, zinc, copper and lead ores used today.

Cadmium is widely used in rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. It is found in many devices, including mobile phones, cameras, computers, wireless electrical devices, and emergency power supplies. In addition, cadmium is used to control nuclear fission reactions due to its ability to absorb neutrons.

The cadmium element is used for about 83 percent batteries, 8 percent pigment, 7 percent coating, 1 percent plastic stabilizer and 1 percent non-ferrous alloys, photovoltaic devices and other purposes.

People and animals are generally exposed to cadmium due to food and drink and smoking. Those who work directly with cadmium are also exposed to cadmium through inhalation. Cadmium is among the most dangerous heavy metals for human health. Cadmium, which is poisonous, damages the bone system, disrupts the calcium balance in the body, causes the excretion of beneficial proteins from the body and causes many more ailments.
