Products Description of Cobalt(II) Carbonate CAS#513-79-1
Cobalt(II) carbonate (CoCO3) is a reddish paramagnetic solid that serves as an intermediate in the hydrometallurgical purification of cobalt from ores. It functions as an inorganic pigment and acts as a precursor for the production of catalysts. Naturally, it is also found as the rare red/pink mineral spherocobaltite. The compound can be synthesized by reacting cobaltous sulfate with sodium bicarbonate solutions.

Product Application of Cobalt Carbonate CAS#513-79-1
Cobalt carbonate naturally occurs as the mineral cobalt spar or sphaerocobaltite. It is widely used in ceramics, cobalt-based pigments, as a catalyst, and as a temperature indicator. Additionally, it is utilized in the production of other cobalt(II) salts. In agriculture, it is also added to soil to provide nutritional supplements for cattle feed.
