How to produce cadmium sulfide CDS powder?
Cadmium sulfide can be prepared by precipitation from soluble cadmium (II) salts and sulfide ions. This reaction has been used for gravimetric analysis and qualitative inorganic analysis. Industrial cadmium mines are immersed in cadmium sulfate with sulfuric acid, adjusted to pH=3.5, and then precipitated with sodium sulfide, the pH value should not be too low. The production of pigments usually includes the precipitation of CDS, washing of solid precipitates to remove soluble cadmium salts, then calcination (roasting) to convert them into hexagons, and then grinding to produce powder. When cadmium selenide sulfide is required, CdSe and CDS will co-precipitate, and cadmium selenide will be produced during the calcination step. Cadmium sulfide is an inorganic substance with a chemical formula of CDS. It can be used to make fireworks, glass glazes, enamels, luminescent materials, and pigments. High-purity cadmium sulfide is a good semiconductor, has a strong photoelectric effect on
