Studies on Cd(OH)2 precipitated from various cadmium salt solutions

Abstract

Infrared spectra and thermogravimetric (t.g.a.) and differential thermal (d.t.a.) analyses are reported for Cd(OH)2 obtained by the action of dilute ammonia solution on aqueous solutions of cadmium chloride, sulfate, and nitrate. The analyses indicate that the precipitated cadmium hydroxide from these solutions is often admixed with basic salts.
