Its non-flammable property eases transportation, though it remains a regulated product. Adhering to recommended safety protocols ensures both user safety and product efficacy.
FAQs of Cobalt Oxide:
Q: How should Cobalt Oxide powder be safely handled and stored?
A: Cobalt Oxide must be handled while wearing appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid skin contact and inhalation, as it is classified as harmful and toxic. Store it in a tightly closed HDPE bag or drum, kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space to maintain its quality and ensure safety.
Q: What are the primary industrial applications of Cobalt Oxide?
A: This compound serves as a critical raw material in the manufacture of ceramics, glass, pigments, battery electrodes, and as a catalyst in various chemical processes. Its fine crystalline structure and high purity enhance consistency and performance across these sectors.
Q: Where is Cobalt Oxide commonly transported and how is it regulated?
A: Cobalt Oxide is widely shipped internationally, particularly to industries in ceramics, pigments, and battery manufacturing. It must be transported as a regulated product, though it is non-flammable, and it requires secure packaging to prevent accidental exposure.
Q: When does Cobalt Oxides shelf life expire under proper conditions?
A: When stored properly in a tightly sealed container away from moisture and heat, Cobalt Oxide retains its integrity and efficacy for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
Q: What is the process of using Cobalt Oxide as a pigment or catalyst?
A: In pigment manufacturing, Cobalt Oxide powder is finely mixed into the desired medium to impart a rich black color or enhance color stability. As a catalyst, it is combined during chemical reactions to accelerate processes or improve yield, benefiting from its high purity and stability.
Q: What benefits does Cobalt Oxide offer for ceramic and glass production?
A: Cobalt Oxide enhances the coloration and durability of ceramics and glass products. Its high melting point and consistent crystalline structure provide reliable results in high-temperature manufacturing environments, improving the final products appearance and resilience.
