CdSO4 is an anhydrous salt form of cadmium sulfate, more commonly found as the monohydrate CdSO4-H2O. Like all salts, cadmium sulfate is colorless and highly soluble. The anhydrous high purity cadmium sulfate is produced using a preparation using cadmium and sodium persulfate, while the common hydrates of cadmium sulfate are produced through metal cadmium and diluted sulfuric acid.
Applications
Cadmium sulfate is used in a number of fields, both as a primary component and as a precursor to other cadmium compounds.
- Electroplating. Cadmium sulfate is primarily used in the electroplating of cadmium metal in certain applications. With the reduction of cadmium use in electronics, this is becoming less common.
- Electronics. Used to reduce corrosion in certain electrical circuit designs.
- Energy storage. A key component serving as an electrolyte in a Weston standard cell.
- Pigment production. Cadmium sulfate serves as a precursor to cadmium sulfide and other cadmium-based compounds used in as pigment.
- Flourescent screens. Sometimes used directly as a pigment in certain fluorescent screen designs.
