 Cadmium nitratetetrahydrate (CAS NO.10022-68-1) is available for the manufacture of catalysts, batteries, drugs containing cadmium. It is also used for coloring glass and porcelain and as a flash powder in photography. Cadmium nitratetetrahydrate is sometimes used to provide a solution containing cadmium ions.

 Cadmium nitratetetrahydrate is made by dissolving cadmium metal or its oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate, in nitric acid followed by crystallization:
CdO + 2HNO₃ → Cd(NO₃)₂ + H₂O
CdCO₃ + 2 HNO₃ → Cd(NO₃)₂ + CO₂ + H₂O
Cd + 4 HNO₃ → 2 NO₂ + 2 H₂O + Cd(NO₃)₂

Cadmium and its compounds are on the Community Right-To-Know List.
