Description

Cobalt chloride is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula CoCl2.6H2O. It is a salt of cobalt in the form of a hexahydrate, which means that it contains six water molecules per molecule of cobalt. Cobalt chloride can be used as a chelate ligand to bind metal ions and prevent them from reacting with other substances. In this way, it can be used in wastewater treatment to remove heavy metals such as copper and zinc, or to remove nitrogen from waste water. The cobalt ion binds reversibly to two oxygen atoms on each molecule of hydrogen peroxide, forming HCoO3HO. This process converts one mole of hydrogen peroxide into one mole of water vapor and one mole of oxygen gas. It also catalyzes reactions involving organic compounds containing ammonia, such as ammonium salts or urea-ammonia solutions - reactions that are used for industrial purposes or for agricultural fertilizers.
