Cadmium occurs as a minor component in most zinc ores and therefore is a byproduct of zinc production.

Cadmium is a soft, malleable, ductile, bluish-white divalent metal.

Cadmium burns in air to form brown amorphous cadmium oxide ( CdO ); the crystalline form of this compound is a dark red which changes color when heated, similar to zinc oxide.

Cadmium is created via the long s-process in low-medium mass stars with masses of 0. 6 to 10 solar masses, which lasts thousands of years.

Cadmium levels are high in Finnish elk liver and kidneys, with the result that consumption of these organs from elk more than one year old is prohibited in Finland.

A standardization in terms of the wavelength of the red line of the emission spectrum of Cadmium is also given, which if the 1927 definition of the Angstrom is taken for the value of that wavelength, would equal 2. 263347539605392 mm.

Cadmium and other restricted heavy metals used in conventional quantum dots is of a major concern in commercial applications.

Cadmium yellow is cadmium sulfide ( CdS ); by adding increasing amounts of selenium, colors ranging from orange to nearly black ( the color of cadmium selenide ) can be produced.

Cadmium yellow is sometimes mixed with viridian to give a bright, pale green mixture called cadmium green.

( Cadmium is a known carcinogen as well as acutely toxic.

Cadmium is found in many of the above components, examples include plastic pigmentation, nickel-cadmium ( NiCd ) batteries and CdS photocells ( used in night lights ).

Cadmium telluride ( CdTe ) thin-film PV modules in photovoltaic panels are explicitly allowed by RoHS to contain cadmium, even though cadmium is restricted in all other electronics.

Cadmium is a highly effective neutron absorber and gives off a gamma ray when it absorbs a neutron.

Cadmium is an impurity in zinc compounds, although represented in very small quantities.

Cadmium in jewelry is not known to be dangerous if the items are simply worn, but concerns come when youngsters bite or suck on the jewelry, as many children do.

This abundant source of biomass is a known bioremediation hyperaccumulator of Mercury, Cadmium, Chromium and Lead, and as such can be used in phytoremediation.

Cadmium plating is under scrutiny because of the environmental toxicity of the cadmium metal.

Cadmium ’ s discovery is also loosely attributed to K. S. L.

Cadmium is an extremely toxic metal commonly found in industrial workplaces.

Cadmium is used extensively in electroplating, although the nature of the operation does not generally lead to overexposures.

Cadmium is also found in some industrial paints and may represent a hazard when sprayed.

Cadmium is also present in the manufacturing of some types of batteries.

The existing lighthouse is managed via the PSTN, and powered by Nickel Cadmium batteries, " charged on a time cycle of three times per week by one of two ( 12. 5 KVA ) markon alternators with TS3 Lister diesel engines.

* Cadmium or Cd, a chemical element

Cadmium pigments are a class of pigments that have cadmium as one of the chemical components.

* Cadmium, an element

Cadmium has 8 known meta states, with the most stable being < sup > 113m </ sup > Cd ( t < sub > ½ </ sub >

Some " thin-film " solar cells have waste disposal issues when they are made with heavy metals such as Cadmium telluride ( CdTe ) and Copper indium gallium selenide ( CuInGaSe ), and need to be recycled, as opposed to silicon solar cells which are mostly non-metallic.

Brilliantly colored, with good permanence and tinting power, Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Orange, and Cadmium Red are familiar artist colors, as well as being frequently employed as architectural paints, since they can add life and vibrancy to renderings.

Cadmium sulfide and a mixture of cadmium sulfide with cadmium selenide are commonly used as pigments in artists ' paints.

Cadmium plating ( or “ cad plating ”) offers a long list of technical advantages such as excellent corrosion resistance even at relatively low thickness and in salt atmospheres, softness and malleability, freedom from sticky and / or bulky corrosion products, galvanic compatibility with aluminum, freedom from stick-slip thus allowing reliable torquing of plated threads, can be dyed to many colors and clear, has good lubricity and solderability, and works well either as a final finish or as a paint base.

* I Send You This Cadmium Red: A Correspondence with John Christie ( with John Christie ) ( 2001 )

Because the pigment tends to oxidize and darken on exposure to air over time, and it contains lead, a toxic, heavy metal, it has been largely replaced by another pigment, Cadmium Yellow ( mixed with enough Cadmium Orange to produce a color equivalent to chrome yellow ).

Cadmium plating is replaced with zinc or nickel.

Cadmium-113m is a Cadmium radioisotope and nuclear isomer with a halflife of 14. 1 years.

# Cadmium ( Cd )

* Cadmium, using willow ( Salix viminalis ): In 1999, one research experiment performed by Maria Greger and Tommy Landberg suggested willow has a significant potential as a phytoextractor of Cadmium ( Cd ), Zinc ( Zn ), and Copper ( Cu ), as willow has some specific characteristics like high transport capacity of heavy metals from root to shoot and huge amount of biomass production ; can be used also for production of bio energy in the biomass energy power plant.

Cadmium and its congeners are not always considered transition metals, in that they do not have partly filled d or f electron shells in the elemental or common oxidation states.

Cadmium ( Latin cadmia, Greek καδμεία meaning " calamine ", a cadmium-bearing mixture of minerals, which was named after the Greek mythological character, Κάδμος Cadmus, the founder of Thebes ) was discovered simultaneously in 1817 by Friedrich Stromeyer and Karl Samuel Leberecht Hermann, both in Germany, as an impurity in zinc carbonate.

Godzilla has an allergic reaction to the Cadmium shells that are fired into his mouth by the Super X, and falls down unconscious.

Cadmium and Gold are used for plating surfaces which gives them good corrosion resistance and sliding properties, Lead, Tin, Zinc alloys and various Bronze alloys are used as sliding bearings, or their powder can be used to lubricate sliding surfaces alone, or as additives to greases.

Cadmium intake has been found to be elevated amongst all consumers of elk meat, though the elk meat was found to contribute only slightly to the daily cadmium intake.
