Product Description of Cobalt Carbonate CAS#513-79-1

Cobalt(II) carbonate (CoCO₃) is a reddish paramagnetic solid. It acts as an intermediate in cobalt hydrometallurgical purification from ores, and serves as an inorganic pigment as well as a precursor for catalyst production. It naturally occurs as the rare red-to-pink mineral spherocobaltite, and can be synthesized via the reaction of cobalt sulfate and sodium bicarbonate solution.

Product Application of Cobalt Carbonate CAS#513-79-1

Cobalt carbonate occurs naturally as cobalt spar and sphaerocobaltite. It is widely used in ceramics, cobalt pigments, catalysts and temperature indicators, and serves as a raw material for preparing other cobalt(II) salts. In agriculture, it is applied to soil and used as a nutritional additive in cattle feed.
