Thallium is a chemical element with the symbol Tl and atomic number 81.
Thallium occurs in crooksite, lorandite, and hutchinsonite.
In its pure form, thallium is odorless and tasteless.
Thallium is very soft and melts easily.
It is soft enough to cut with an ordinary knife and will leave a mark on paper if rubbed across it.
The thallium-based and mercury-based superconducting oxides are excellent candidates because of their high transition temperature reaching to 130 K and unique features in their growth morphology.
It is also present in pyrites and is recovered from the roasting of this ore in connection with the production of sulfuric acid.
Thallium is a byproduct metal recovered in some countries from flue dusts and residues collected in the smelting of copper, zinc, and lead ores.
Thallium is obtained as a by-product of the recovery of lead and zinc.
Gases from the recovery process are captured. They are then treated to obtain the pure metal.
Thallium is recovered as a byproduct from the flue dust and residues generated during the roasting and smelting steps in the processing of copper, lead, zinc, and other sulfide ores.
Approximately 60-70% of thallium production is used in the electronics industry, and the rest is used in the pharmaceutical industry and in glass manufacturing.
Thallium is highly toxic and is used in rat poisons and insecticides, and its use has been cut back or eliminated in many countries.
Thallium is used in the electrodes in dissolved oxygen analyzers.
Thallium has been used in treating ringworm and other skin infections
its use has been limited because of the narrow margin between toxicity and therapeutic benefits.
Thallium has been used, with sulfur or selenium and arsenic, to produce low melting glasses which becomes fluid between 125 and 150 C.
Thallium amalgam is used in thermometers for low temperature, because it freezes at -58 °C.
World resources of thallium contained in zinc resources total about 17 million kilograms; most are located in Canada, Europe, and the United States.
Higher internal demand for many metals, including thallium, has prompted China to begin importing greater quantities of thallium.
The recent introduction of thallium-20i /Tc-99m pertechnetate subtraction scintigraphy for imaging parathyroid adenomashas rekindled interest in parathyroid scintigraphy.
Some reports have described both positive and negative thallium-201 accumulation in thymic rebound.
Although more experience with similar cases is necessary, it is likely that thallium-201 also tends to accumulate in thymic rebound as well as gallium.
