Cobalt Salt Compounds

UrbanMines specializes in producing high purity Cobalt Powder with the smallest possible average grain sizes, which are useful in any application where high surface areas are desired such as water treatment and in fuel cell and solar applications. Our standard powder particle sizes average in the range of ≤2.5μm, and ≤0.5μm.

Cobalt (II) Oxide appears as olive-green to red crystals, or greyish or black powder. Cobalt (II) Oxide is used extensively in the ceramics industry as an additive to create blue colored glazes and enamels as well as in the chemical industry for producing cobalt(II) salts.

Cobaltous Chloride (CoCl2∙6H2O in commercial form), a pink solid that changes to blue as it dehydrates, is utilized in catalyst preparation and as an indicator of humidity.

Cobalt(II) Hydroxide or Cobaltous Hydroxide is a highly water insoluble crystalline Cobalt source. It is a inorganic compound with the formula Co(OH)2, consisting of divalent cobalt cations Co2+and hydroxide anions HO−. Cobaltous hydroxide appears as rose-red powder, is soluble in acids and ammonium salt solutions, insoluble in water and alkalies.

 Hexaamminecobalt(III) Chloride is a cobalt coordination entity consisting of a hexaamminecobalt(III) cation in association with three chloride anions as counterions.
