Cobalt is a metal element obtained by extraction from mineral ores. It is a hard metal variety with a wide range of industrial and technical uses, including the manufacture of high-strength alloys for use in jet engines, gas turbines, and other industrial machinery. It is also used in the manufacture of rechargeable batteries, such as those found in electric cars and portable electronic devices like cell phones and laptop computers. Cobalt is also used in medicine, including the manufacture of radiation therapy devices and the use of cobalt-60 as a radioisotope in cancer treatment. Its derivative compounds are also utilized in ceramics, paints, and glass as pigments.
The market for cobalt is driven by its demand in the metal, electronic, electrical, ceramic, dyestuffs, and chemical industries. Its usage in the manufacture of rechargeable batteries for electric cars, handheld gadgets, and fixed energy storage systems fuels its demand in the electrical and electronic market. As the global usage of electric cars grows, the need for cobalt in battery manufacture is likely to rise dramatically. Moreover, demand for cobalt is being driven by its usage in aerospace, defense, and medicinal applications.
Similarly, its applications in ceramics, chemicals, and dyestuffs (including paints, inks, etc.), along with glasses, etc., drive its demand in the global market. There are various factors that directly impact industrial cobalt procurement across the globe. Vital factors, specifically its demand, along with the variation in its prices and distribution across various regions, altogether govern its procurement on a large scale. Hence, changes in its demand as a metal variety in the metal, electrical, electronic, chemical, ceramic, and glass industries, along with its market prices, trade, logistics, and supply, are highly essential to determine its procurement.
Raw Material for Cobalt Production
According to the cobalt manufacturing plant project report, the key raw material for cobalt production includes cobalt mineral ore (such as cobaltite, skutterudite smaltite etc).
Manufacturing Process of Cobalt
The extensive cobalt production cost report consists of the major industrial manufacturing process:
- By Metal Extraction Method: Cobalt is a metal variety produced by processing cobalt mineral ore through extraction methods. In this process, the mineral ore with cobalt content is processed through reduction, precipitation, solvent extraction, and electrowinning, which gives cobalt the final product.
Cobalt is a lustrous silvery-blue metal and has a Mohs hardness of 5.5. It is a hard metal variety with a density of 8.86 g/cm3. It is frequently found alongside nickel, copper, and iron ores. Its exhibits a high melting and boiling point, that is 1495 °C (2723 F) and 2927 °C (5301 F), respectively.
It is an excellent electrical and thermal conductor and because it is ferromagnetic, it is highly attracted to magnets. It is one of three elements that are magnetic at room temperature, along with iron and nickel. At room temperature, it is relatively stable and does not react with water. However, it can react with acids, generating hydrogen gas.
