Cadmium nitrate is an inorganic compound used in the production of nickel-cadmium batteries. It is used in glass and porcelain manufacturing as it gives a reddish-yellow luster to decorative items. It is utilized as a laboratory reagent for the synthesis of cadmium hydroxide (used in advanced catalysis and nanomaterial production) and cadmium sulfide (utilized in photocells, solar cells, and optoelectronic devices). It is used in nuclear reactors because of its neutron-absorbing properties that make it useful for reactor control. It works as a precursor for corrosion-resistant electroplating coatings and cadmium alloys in aerospace components. It is employed in processes for heavy metal removal and water purification. It requires strict safety protocols because of carcinogenicity and toxicity risks like kidney damage and respiratory issues.

Feedstock for Cadmium Nitrate

The production of cadmium nitrate is done via several methods that use cadmium oxide, cadmium metal, cadmium carbonate, and nitric acid as the major feedstock. The changes in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of cadmium nitrate.

The procurement of cadmium oxide is driven by factors like availability and cost of raw materials, market demand, regulatory compliance, etc. The fluctuations in supply and costs of its raw materials like cadmium metal (fluctuations in zinc mining and refining directly impact cadmium availability) and cadmium compounds (the changes in cadmium compounds demand for batteries, pigments, and solar cells affect their procurement) affect its production costs. Its demand in downstream industries like electronics, battery manufacturing, electroplating, ceramics/pigments, and catalysts affects its availability. Adherence to OSHA exposure limits (PEL: 5 µg/m³), REACH SVHC restrictions, and RoHS exemptions for electronics further adds up to its procurement costs.

Cadmium metal is another major feedstock used in the manufacturing of cadmium nitrate. The changes in the supply and cost of raw material cadmium-containing ore (cadmium ore is a byproduct of zinc mining and refining that affects its procurement costs) affect its production costs. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like electronics, battery manufacturing, electroplating, ceramics, pigments, and catalysts affect its market availability.

The sourcing of cadmium carbonate is affected by changes in its demand for ceramics, pigments, electroplating, advanced batteries, and solar cells. Strict regulatory controls because of cadmium carbonate’s toxicity and carcinogenic nature and compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations add up to its procurement costs. The availability of raw materials like cadmium sources (the changes in zinc ore mining and refining, as cadmium is produced as a byproduct of zinc extraction processes, affects its procurement) and carbonate precursors affect its supply and prices.

The procurement of nitric acid (another important raw material used in cadmium nitrate production) is affected by changes in demand in the agricultural sector, chemical manufacturing, and specialty industries. The price and availability of its raw materials, such as ammonia (the cost and availability of natural gas directly impact ammonia production costs) and natural gas (disruptions in production or pipeline infrastructure constrain supply and impact natural gas procurement) affects its production costs. Also, adherence to strict environmental and safety regulations because of its corrosive and hazardous nature adds to its procurement costs.
 

Market Drivers for Cadmium Nitrate

The market of cadmium nitrate is driven by its increasing demand in the manufacturing of nickel-cadmium batteries. Its utilization in the glass and ceramics industries fuels its demand. Its usage in nuclear reactors for neutron-absorbing properties makes it a popular product. Its use for corrosion-resistant electroplating coatings and for the production of alloys used in making aerospace components further contributes to its demand. Its demand in the Asia-Pacific region is growing because of expanding agriculture and its use in fertilizers and pigments. North American region maintains steady demand that is driven by specialty agricultural applications. Europe faces a decline in cadmium use in consumer products but continues to utilize cadmium nitrate in chemical industries under strict regulatory controls.

The CAPEX for cadmium nitrate production facility includes costs of acid-resistant reaction vessels (glass-lined or PTFE-coated), gas scrubbing systems, crystallization units, heated dissolvers, and corrosion-resistant storage tanks. It also includes negative-pressure workstations, fume hoods, and cadmium exposure containment systems. Waste treatment systems to handle nitrate-rich effluents and cadmium-laden residues through chemical neutralization and certified hazardous waste disposal also come under CAPEX. Its OPEX includes recurring costs of raw materials, along with expenses from electricity for heating and crystallization and water usage. It also includes wages for skilled labor trained in hazardous material handling and emergency procedures, along with waste management costs. Regulatory compliance adds ongoing costs through licensing, health checks, and environmental audits.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Cadmium Nitrate manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Cadmium Nitrate manufacturing.

• From Cadmium Oxide and Nitric Acid: The feedstock for this process includes cadmium oxide and nitric acid.

The manufacturing process of cadmium nitrate involves the reaction of cadmium oxide with nitric acid. In this process, cadmium oxide is added to the nitric acid, where it dissolves and reacts to form cadmium nitrate and water as a byproduct. The cadmium nitrate solution is further processed or crystallized to get pure cadmium nitrate as the final product.

• From Cadmium Metal and Nitric Acid: The feedstock for this process includes cadmium metal and nitric acid.

The manufacturing process of cadmium nitrate involves a reaction between cadmium metal and nitric acid. In this reaction, cadmium metal reacts with concentrated nitric acid to form cadmium nitrate. This method leads to the formation of high-purity cadmium nitrate.

• From Cadmium Carbonate and Nitric Acid: The feedstock for this process includes cadmium carbonate and nitric acid.

The manufacturing process of cadmium nitrate involves a reaction between cadmium carbonate and nitric acid. In this process, cadmium carbonate reacts with nitric acid to form cadmium nitrate, along with carbon dioxide gas and water as byproducts. The product is separated and purified to get pure cadmium nitrate as the final product.
 

Properties of Cadmium Nitrate

Cadmium nitrate has the molecular formula of Cd(NO3)2 and a molecular weight of 236.42 g/mol. It is a colorless or white, odorless, crystalline solid. It is highly soluble in water, alcohol, and ammonia. It has a melting point of 59.5 degree Celsius and decomposes at higher temperatures to get cadmium oxide and toxic nitrogen oxides. It is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air to form aqueous solutions. It works as a strong oxidizing agent and forms cadmium sulfide when exposed to hydrogen sulfide and precipitates cadmium hydroxide with sodium hydroxide. It is carcinogenic in nature and poses severe health risks, including lung and kidney damage. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in glass coloring, nuclear energy, and laboratory synthesis.
