In this EZkem video series we will be discussing the proper preparation, activation & storage of an open tubular cadmium reaction coil (OTCR) and troubleshooting tips. Part I of this series: Cadmium Coil ActivationIn covers the importance of properly activating the cadmim coil. In order to create a good copper complex it is important to use acid to clean and prepare the surface of the cadmium. Cadmium is very susceptible to destruction if the acid concentration is too high or if it is left in the coil to long. Therefore a quick flush of 0.5 M HCl followed immediately by a flush with DI water is sufficient.
