Cadmium is a metal found naturally in the earth's crust. Pure cadmium is a soft, silver-white metal; however, its unusual to find it in its pure form. Its commonly found in combination with other elements such as oxygen (cadmium oxide) or sulphur (cadmium sulphate).Cadmium is also used in industry.The cadmium used in industry is a byproduct of zinc, lead, and copper refining. Industrial uses of cadmium include production of metal plating, rechargeable batteries, paint pigments, and plastics.admium is also used in industry.

Submersible pumps are made, as their name implies, to be submersed within a tank, well, or other container. Manufacturesâ of submersible pumps design many common types of pumps to make them suitable for immersion.ire and Rescue Services. Submersible pumps are used to pump out water to a minimum depth of 15 cms or from open water to supply an incident ground with water. Submersible pumps can be lowered into a subway or down a cliff into open water and still operate.
Mother nature plays an important role by exerting only 14.7 psi on any body of water at sea level. This limits the suction head of centrifugal pumps to 33.9 feet. However, this would only be obtained if we could achieve a perfect vacuum in the pump. In reality, the suction head of centrifugal pumps is limited to about 26 feet. Pump performance (capacity or pressure) is highest when the pump is operated close to the water's surface. Increasing the suction head will DECREASE the discharge head and consequently the discharge capacity of the pump.
