Bismuth is used in the manufacture of low melting solders and fusible alloys, as key components of thermoelectric safety appliances, such as automatic shut offs for gas and electric water heating systems and safety plugs in compressed gas cylinders, in the production of shot and shotguns, in pharmaceuticals, in the manufacture of acrylonitrile, the starting material for synthetic fibers and rubbers. Bismuth oxychloride is sometimes used in cosmetics. Also bismuth subnitrate and bismuth subcarbonate are used in medicine. Bismuth subsalicylate is used as an antidiarrheal and to treat other gastrointestinal diseases.

Bismuth oxychloride was prepared according to the following method:[18] Initially, 4.85 g of Bi (NO3)3·5H2O was added to 100 mL of C2H4O: water solution (1:1 v/v ratio) and kept under stirring at room temperature for 30 min. Then 10 mL of CH4N2S solution (1.0 mol/L) and 0.01 mol KCl were added under stirring. Finally, 100 mL of 2% (v/v) CH3COOH was added dropwise. The solution was kept under stirring for 1 h. The final product was separated by vacuum filtration and dried at 70 °C overnight.
