Description

Residues, Cobalt-Refining CAS NO 124222-15-7 refers to a specialized by-product stream generated during the refining and purification of cobalt metal. This material is of significant industrial value as a secondary source of cobalt and other strategic metals, offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to primary ores. It is primarily sought by metal recovery specialists, catalyst manufacturers, and producers of alloys and pigments for resource optimization and supply chain security.

Application

• Secondary Metal Recovery: As a feedstock for hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical processes to recover cobalt, nickel, and other valuable metals.
• Catalyst Precursor: Serving as a raw material in the production of cobalt-based catalysts used in petroleum refining, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and chemical manufacturing.
• Alloy Production: Utilized in the manufacture of superalloys, magnetic alloys (e.g., Alnico, Sm-Co), and hard-facing alloys where cobalt imparts high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance.
• Pigment and Dye Intermediate: As a source of cobalt for producing inorganic pigments like cobalt blue and cobalt green, and for ceramic glazes.
• Battery Material Recycling: An important source for recovering cobalt in the recycling stream for lithium-ion and other rechargeable batteries.
• Additive in Welding & Hardfacing: Incorporated into welding rods, wires, and powders to enhance wear and corrosion resistance in surfaced components.
