Usage

Description

Calcium iodide is a white to light beige crystalline solid that is anhydrous in nature. It is a compound formed by the combination of calcium and iodine elements, and it possesses unique chemical properties that make it suitable for various applications across different industries.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Calcium iodide is used as a drug in upper respiratory combinations and expectorants for the treatment of respiratory disorders. It helps in breaking down and thinning the mucus, making it easier to expel from the respiratory system, thus providing relief from congestion and other related symptoms.
Used in Laboratory Applications:
Calcium iodide serves as a crucial laboratory chemical, utilized in various research and analytical processes. Its unique properties make it an essential component in experiments and procedures that require the presence of iodine or calcium ions.
Used in Manufacturing Industry:
Calcium iodide is also used in the manufacture of various substances, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other industrial products. Its versatility and reactivity with other compounds make it a valuable ingredient in the production process, contributing to the development of new and innovative materials.

Preparation

Strontium fluoride can be prepared by the reaction of strontium chloride with fluorine gas, or by action of hydrofluoric acid on strontium carbonate: SrCl2 (aq)＋ F2 (gas)→SrF2 (solid)＋ Cl2 (gas) SrCO3＋ 2HF→SrF2＋ CO2＋H2O Note that the first reaction depends upon the insolubility of SrF2 in water. Strontium fluoride is a water-insoluble source for use in oxygen-sensitive applications, such as metal production since it in nonhygroscopic.

Health Hazard

Exposures to cadmium iodide cause adverse health effects on the skin, blood, kidneys, and lungs. It causes irritation to the eyes and skin, and corrosive effects to the skin and is extremely hazardous in case of ingestion.

Toxicity evaluation

Exposures to cadmium iodide cause adverse health effects on the skin, blood, kidneys, and lungs. It causes irritation to the eyes and skin and corrosive effects to the skin. It is extremely hazardous in case of ingestion. The ACGIH and the NTP classified cadmium iodide as A2, meaning suspected for human carcinogen, and as Group 2, meaning reasonably anticipated human carcinogen, respectively.
