Properties and stability

Use and store according to specifications. It will not decompose and avoid contact with oxides. Almost insoluble in water, alcohol, methyl acetate and ammonia. Soluble in acid. Does not interact with cold concentrated nitric acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid. It begins to decompose when heated to 400°C and releases carbon dioxide. In the air or in the presence of weak oxidants, it is gradually oxidized to cobalt carbonate. Soluble in dilute acid and ammonia, insoluble in water, it easily decomposes into trivalent cobalt carbonate when heated in the air.

Toxicity and protection: Bronchial asthma sometimes occurs when inhaling cobalt compounds; grinding cobalt compounds can cause acute dermatitis, and sometimes ulcers form on the skin surface. The maximum allowable concentration of metallic cobalt and cobalt oxide is 0.5mg/m3. Pay attention to dust prevention and removal when working, and wear a gas mask to prevent aerosols from damaging respiratory organs. You should also wear dust-proof overalls and protective gloves to protect your skin when working.

Storage method

Stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse. �Keep away from fire and heat sources. Protect from direct sunlight. The packaging is sealed. They should be stored separately from acids and food chemicals, and avoid mixed storage. Suitable materials should be available in the storage area to contain spills.

Packed in woven bags lined with polyethylene plastic bags, with a net weight of 50kg per bag. Store in a ventilated, dry warehouse, insulated from heat and moisture, and must not be stored or transported together with acids or liquid ammonia.

Synthesis method

Hydrochloric acid After the cobalt metal or cobalt-containing waste reacts with hydrochloric acid to generate a cobalt chloride solution, sodium carbonate is added to react to generate cobalt carbonate precipitate. After rinsing, centrifugal separation, and drying, the finished cobalt carbonate product is obtained. Its reaction equation

2. Weigh 122g (0.42mol ) Cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, dissolve it with as little water as possible, then weigh 60g (0.57mol) anhydrous sodium carbonate and dissolve it in 600mL water, and add the hot solution to the cobalt nitrate aqueous solution several times. Heat the solution to boiling, stir for 15 minutes, and a precipitate will form. After suction filtration, wash with water and absorb the water with filter paper.
