Cadmium is used in batteries, paint pigments, electroplating processes, and
with other metals in the preparation of alloys. The solubility of cadmium in
natural water is proportional to the hardness or alkalinity of the water.
Cadmium is not an essential nutrient for plants and animals. It is extremely
toxic and can accumulate in the kidneys and liver.
APPLICATION: Drinking and surface waters; domestic and industrial
wastewater.
RANGE: 0.00–1.00 Cadmium
METHOD: PAN (1-
[2-Pyridylazo]-2-Naphthol) forms a red complex
with Cadmium (Cd +2 ) at a pH of 10.
SAMPLE
HANDLING &
PRESERVATION: Analyze sample as soon as possible. If sample must be stored,
acidify with nitric acid to a pH below 2.
INTERFERENCES: Ag +2 , Co +2 , Cu +2 , Mn +2 , Ni +2 , Zn +2 , Y +3 , In +3
