Cobalt(II) sulfate heptahydrate is used in the preparation of pigments, as well as in the manufacture of other cobalt salts, which is used in porcelains and glass. It is used in storage batteries and electroplating baths, sympathetic inks, and as an additive to soils and animal feeds.
Hydrated cobalt(II) sulfate is used in the preparation of pigments, as well as in the manufacture of other cobalt salts. Cobalt pigment is used in porcelains and glass.
Cobalt oxide or other cobalt derivatives are dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid, which crystallizes to form cobalt sulfate. In addition, large amount of cobalt sulfate is produced as a by-product during the manufacturing of various metals, such as nickel and copper.
