About
Cadmium is a white-silvery metal that is relatively rare and can also be poisonous. Cadmium is often used in the electrical, HVAC, and welding industries. Cadmium has a low melting temperature and tarnishes in moist air; it is ductile and very malleable. Cadmium has a very high neutron absorbing cross-section and as a result is used for neutron shielding in the nuclear industry.
Production
India is amongst the biggest consumers of Cadmium. Cadmium producing countries are such as South Korea, China, Germany, Japan,the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands, Peru and Mexico.
 There are rare ores that contain cadmium. This mineral is produced as a by-product from zinc's sulfide ores mining, smelting and refining. Therefore, it is mainly produced in areas where zinc is refined. When the iron and steel scrap are recycled, the dust is generated, which is regarded as a secondary source for the production of small amounts of cadmium.
