Spectrophotometer Use any suitable atomic absorption spectrophotometer equipped with a Boling-type burner, an air-acetylene flame, and a hollow-cathode cadmium lamp. The instrument should be capable of operating within the sensitivity necessary for the determination.

In contrast to the low-pressure lamps (1—130 Pa) which primarily emit at the resonance line at A = 254nm, high-pressure lamps (lO —10 Pa) also produce numerous bands in the UV and VIS regions (Fig. 16). Table 3 lists the emission lines and the relative spectral energies of the most important mercury lamps (see also [44]). The addition of cadmium to a mercury vapor lamp increases the numbei of emission lines particularly in the visible region of the spectrum [45] so that it i. also possible to work at A = 326, 468, 480, 509 and 644 nm [46]. 

Aluminium is widely applied for decorative and protective requirements, while cadmium , zinc and titanium have been applied to ferrous materials chiefly for their protective value. The method finds particular application in the plating of high-tensile steels used in aviation and rocketry, car fittings and lamp reflectors, and gramophone record master discs, as well as in the preparation of specimens for electron microscopy and in rendering insulated surfaces electrically conducting, e.g. metallising of capacitors and resistors. 

Thin-layer plates were made with silica gel-calcium sulfate and each contained a mixture of zinc silicate and zinc cadmium sulfide as phosphors. Separated components are generally visible under ultraviolet light by fluorescence quenching. This was true, in part, for the pyrethrins, except that some of the separated components possessed a natural fluorescence under the ultraviolet lamps.

By a strict definition, these electrical and electronic wastes are hazardous. Fluorescent lamps contain mercury, and almost all fluorescents fail the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) toxicity test for hazardous wastes. Fluorescent lamp ballasts manufactured in the mid-1980s contain polychorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a carcinogen most of these ballasts are still in service. Batteries can contain any of a number of hazardous materials, including cadmium (nickel-cadmium... 

The photodimerization of simple isolated olefinic bonds is rarely observed because of the absorption of these compounds in the high-energy or vacuum-ultraviolet region. One case reported is that of the photo-dimerization of 2-butene.<2) Irradiation of liquid cw-2-butene with light from a cadmium (A = 229, 227, 214 nm) or zinc (A = 214 nm) lamp was reported to lead to dimers (1) and (2) ... 

Fig. 17 Cadmium selenide QDs, dissolved in toluene, fluorescing brightly in the presence of a ultraviolet lamp, in three noticeably different colors (blue 481 nm, green 520 nm, and orange 612 nm). The blue QDs have the smallest particle size, the green dots are slightly larger, and the orange dots are the largest.

Armannsson [659] has described a procedure involving dithizone extraction and flame atomic absorption spectrometry for the determination of cadmium, zinc, lead, copper, nickel, cobalt, and silver in seawater. In this procedure 500 ml of seawater taken in a plastic container is exposed to a 1000 W mercury arc lamp for 5-15 h to break down metal organic complexes. The solution is adjusted to pH 8, and 10 ml of 0.2% dithizone in chloroform added. The 10 ml of chloroform is run off and after adjustment to pH 9.5 the aqueous phase is extracted with a further 10 ml of dithizone. The combined extracts are washed with 50 ml of dilute ammonia. To the organic phases is added 50 ml of 0.2 M-hydrochloric acid. The phases are separated and the aqueous portion washed with 5 ml of chloroform. The aqueous portion is evaporated to dryness and the residue dissolved in 5 ml of 2 M hydrochloric acid (solution A). Perchloric acid (3 ml) is added to the organic portion, evaporated to dryness, and a further 2 ml of 60% perchloric acid added to ensure that all organic matter has been... 

Beryllium connections and contacts are employed for switchgear and relays. Beryllium oxide is used as substrata for electronic circuits. Cadmium is used in television and fluorescent light phosphors. Cadmium, nickel and mercury are employed in batteries such as "nicad" cells and mercury cells. Mercury is used in fluorescent lamps, electrical switches, and outdoor lamps, as well as instruments for measuring pressure, temperature, and density. Selenium is employed as a photoreceptor in copying machines, and as a semiconductor in rectifiers. Lead applications include lead add storage batteries, a component in color television glass, and, in its oxide form, use as a dielectric material. 

The substitution of a small proportion of the calcium by cadmium gives a considerable improvement in the radiation stability and an improved quantum yield for halophosphates in fluorescent lamps. The formation of undesirable color centers is strongly suppressed by addition of cadmium [5.371], The cadmium presumably accelerates the reaction [5.372], thus minimizing side reactions during the firing process.
