Cadmium sulfate mainly used in electroplating of cadmium, which is used in electronic circuits.
Cadmium Sulfate is a whitish, crystalline, inorganic compound that forms toxic fumes of cadmium
oxides when heated.
Application
Cadmium sulfate is used widely for the electroplating of cadmium in electronic circuits. It is also a precursor to cadmium-based pigment such as cadmium sulfide. It is also used for electrolyte in a Weston standard cell as well as a pigment in fluorescent screens.
Dosage
The most common form is the monohydrate CdSO4·H2O, but two other forms are known CdSO4·8⁄3H2O and the anhydrous salt (CdSO4). All salts are colourless and highly soluble in water.
