Chemical compound

Cobalt(II) carbonate is the inorganic compound with the formula CoCO3. This pink paramagnetic solid is an intermediate in the hydrometallurgical purification of cobalt from its ores. It is an inorganic pigment, and a precursor to catalysts.[5] Cobalt(II) carbonate also occurs as the rare red/pink mineral spherocobaltite.[6]

Preparation and structure

[edit]
๐Ÿ‘ Image

It is prepared by combining solutions of cobalt(II) sulfate and sodium bicarbonate:

CoSO4 + 2 NaHCO3 โ†’ CoCO3 + Na2SO4 + H2O + CO2

This reaction is used in the precipitation of cobalt from an extract of its roasted ores.[5]

CoCO3 adopts a structure like calcite, consisting of cobalt in an octahedral coordination geometry.[7]

Reactions

[edit]

Aqueous solutions of cobalt chloride can be prepared from cobalt(II) carbonate with hydrochloric acid according to this idealized equation:[8]

CoCO3 + 2 HCl + 3 H2O โ†’ CoCl2ยท(H2O)4 + CO2

The reaction of cobalt(II) carbonate and acetylacetone in the presence of hydrogen peroxide gives tris(acetylacetonato)cobalt(III).[9]

Heating the carbonate in air (calcining) is accompanied by partial oxidation:

6CoCO3 + O2 โ†’ 2Co3O4 + 6CO2

The resulting Co3O4 converts reversibly to CoO at high temperatures.[10]

Uses

[edit]

Cobalt carbonate is a precursor to cobalt carbonyl and various cobalt salts. It is a component of dietary supplements since cobalt is an essential element. It is a precursor to blue pottery glazes, famously in the case of Delftware.

Related compounds

[edit]

At least two cobalt(II) carbonate-hydroxides are known: Co2(CO3)(OH)2 and Co6(CO3)2(OH)8ยทH2O.[11]

The moderately rare spherocobaltite is a natural form of cobalt carbonate, with good specimens coming especially from the Republic of Congo. "Cobaltocalcite" is a cobaltiferous calcite variety that is quite similar in habit to spherocobaltite.[6]

Sodium tris(carbonato)cobalt(III) is a cobalt(III) complex containing three carbonate ligands.

Safety

[edit]

Toxicity has rarely been observed. Animals, including humans, require trace amounts of cobalt, a component of vitamin B12.[5]
