Cobalt carbonate

Cobalt carbonate (CAS 513-79-1), also known as cobaltous carbonate, is an inorganic cobalt salt.

Where is Cobalt carbonate used?

• Mining and metals: precursor for cobalt oxides, cobalt powders, and hard metal alloys used in cutting tools
• Coatings and pigments: cobalt for ceramic glazes, glass colorants, and drying agents for alkyd-based paints
• Catalyst precursor: calcined or reduced to generate active cobalt species for hydroprocessing and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
• Water treatment: pH-buffering capacity stabilizes process streams where cobalt dosing is required.

Commercial specifications

• Purity typically 99% for laboratory uses down to technical grades for metallurgical processing
• Meets USP and ACS standards where applicable
• Packaging from small drums to bulk quantities
