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
MDL: 0.02 ppm
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
