Used as raw material for the production of chemical (co)catalyst and organic cobalt salt;
Used as cobalt colorant in ceramic industry;
Used as electronic materials, magnetic materials, additives;
Used as analytical reagent in analytical chemistry.
Carbonate of cobalt, cobaltous carbonate, carbonicacid,
Cobalt(ii) carbonate, spherocobaltite.
[appearance]
Cobalt carbonate is an odorless purple powder.
[solubility]
Cobalt carbonate is insoluble in water and ammonia; but however soluble in acids.
[uses]
Cobalt carbonate is used as a microelement in the zootechnical industry,
As raw material in the production of pigments and as catalysts.
[description]
Cobalt carbonate is the inorganic compound with the formula coco3,
It is the carbonate salt of cobalt.
Cobalt carbonate is prepared by heating cobaltous sulfate with a solution of sodium bicarbonate.
This reddish paramagnetic solid is an intermediate in the hydrometallurgical purification of cobalt
From its ores. It is an inorganic pigment, and a precursor to catalysts.
[classification]
Cobalt carbonate is harmful if swallowed and may cause sensitisation by inhalation and skin contact
Cobalt acetate is a moderately water soluble crystalline cobalt source
That decomposes to cobalt oxide on heating. It is generally immediately
Available in most volumes. All metallic acetates are inorganic salts containing
A metal cation and the acetate anion, a univalent (-1 charge) polyatomic ion
Composed of two carbon atoms ionically bound to three hydrogen and two
Oxygen atoms (symbol: ch3coo) for a total formula weight of 59.05.
Acetates are excellent precursors for production of ultra high purity compounds,
Catalysts, and nanoscale materials.
COBALT METAL PIECE
The development of cobalt
In the case of cobalt, the ancient greeks and Romans used its compound to make colored glass to produce a beautiful dark blue.By the 20th century, cobalt and its alloys had been widely used in the electrical, mechanical, chemical, aerospace and other industrial sectors and had become an important strategic metal.China began to extract cobalt from cobalt ore, nickel ore and cobalt-bearing pyrite in the 1950s.The use of cobalt minerals has a long history. The egyptians used cobalt blue as a coloring agent for ceramic products in the BC period, and cobalt compounds have been widely used in ceramic production since the tang dynasty.Cobalt was first isolated by the Swedish chemist Brandt in 1735 and identified as an element by Bergman in 1780.
The use of the cobalt
At present, the consumption and application of cobalt in the traditional fields are mainly battery Cobalt materials, super heat resistant alloy, tool steel, carbide, magnetic materials;Cobalt, which is consumed as a compound, is mainly used as a catalyst, desiccant, reagent, pigment and dye.Cobalt-60 is a widely used radioactive material widely used in biochemistry for activation analysis.For tracer studies in electroplating, corrosion and catalysis;It is used in medicine for radiological examination and treatment.
Cobalt oxide is a consistent, reliable oxide and a common colorant in pottery.
It is available in powdered form and is blackish in color.
It is a very strong oxide, and using very small quantities yields bright, intense blues.
In ceramics, cobalt oxide is used mainly in slips, washes and glazes and can be applied through brushwork, decals or other surface decorating techniques.
It can also be added to porcelain or stoneware clay. Because cobalt oxide is not as finely powdered as cobalt carbonate, cobalt oxide is more likely to create blue specks, a quality that we believe can be quite beautiful!
Because of the strength of this oxide as a colorant, glazes containing cobalt can produce halos and flashing during firings.
Cobalt oxide is insoluble in water but soluble in acids.
[uses]
Cobalt oxide is mainly used as a pigment for colouring glass and frits.
Sometimes also used as catalyst or as a source for metallic cobalt.
[description]
Cobalt oxide is a is a harmful allergenic compound.
It is an inorganic compound and mostly found as tricobalt tetraoxide.
At room temperature is presented as a black odourless solid.
[classification]
Cobalt oxide is hazardous to the environment and harmful, if swallowed;
May cause sensitisation by skin contact and is toxic to aquatic organisms
Causing long-term adverse effects in aquatic environment
