A black-gray hexagonal or orthorhombic powder. Melting point 895 C (decomposition);d 5. 18. Dissolved in hot hydrochloric acid release chlorine; Dissolved in hot dilute sulfuric acid release oxygen. Insoluble in water, ethanol. Insoluble in water, ethanol, soluble in acid. It can be reduced to cobalt oxide by hydrogen at 125 ℃, cobalt oxide at 200 ℃, and cobalt metal at 250 ℃.
nickel-free analytically pure cobalt hydroxide was placed in a porcelain dish and burned in an electric furnace at 350 to 370 ° C. For 4 to 5 hours. Nickel-free analytical pure cobalt trioxide is available. Alternatively, nickel-free basic cobalt carbonate is placed in a porcelain dish and burned in an electric furnace at 350-370 ° C. For 4-5H to obtain cobalt trioxide.
used as an analytical reagent, an oxidizing agent, a catalyst, and the preparation of cobalt and nickel-free cobalt salts.
It has a stimulating effect on the eyes, respiratory system and gastrointestinal tract. Inhalation can cause acute poisoning, the emergence of bronchial asthma. The maximum allowable concentration is 0.5 mg/m3. Staff should be protected. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep the container sealed. It shall be stored separately from oxidants, acids and edible chemical raw materials.
