Cobalt Sulphate is the Sulphate salt of divalent cobalt. Cobalt Sulphate appears as red monoclinic crystals that melt at 96.8°C and become anhydrous at 420°C. Cobalt Sulphate is soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and especially soluble in methanol. Cobalt sulfate is used the preparation of pigments, as well as in the manufacture of other cobalt salts.
Uses
Cobalt sulphate is used in storage batteries and electroplating baths, sympathetic inks, and as an additive to soils and animal feeds. For these purposes, the cobalt sulphate is produced by treating cobalt oxide with sulfuric acid.
