Application of Cadmium Sulfide CDS Powder
Cadmium Sulfide CDS Powder Overview Cadmium sulfide is an inorganic substance with the chemical formula CDS. There are two kinds of crystals, α type is lemon yellow powder, β type is orange-red powder. Slightly soluble in water, soluble in acid, slightly soluble in ammonia. Cadmium sulfide is a yellow solid. There are two different crystal structures in nature, the rare minerals clinopyroxene and leucite, but are more commonly used as impurity substituents in the structurally similar zincites sphalerite and wurtzite, while the zincites sphalerite and wurtzite are more commonly used as impurity substituents. Wurtzite is the main economic source of cadmium. As an easily isolated and purified compound, it is a major source of cadmium in all commercial applications. Its bright yellow color made it used as a pigment in the yellow paint "Cadmium Yellow" in the 18th century. Like zinc sulfide, cadmium sulfide also has two crystal forms.
