Cobaltous Sulfate is a reddish, toxic, metallic salt. Cobalt Sulphate is very stable in air at ordinary temperatures, and dissolves but slowly in hot water. The solution can be more readily prepared by dissolving the oxides or carbonate in dilute sulphuric acid.Cobalt Sulfate is a moderately water and acid soluble Cobalt source for uses compatible with sulfates.Sulfate compounds are salts or esters of sulfuric acid formed by replacing one or both of the hydrogens with a metal. Most metal sulfate compounds are readily soluble in water for uses such as water treatment, unlike fluorides and oxides which tend to be insoluble.
Cobalt Sulphate can be blended with fertilizer to increase herbage cobalt levels for animal health and is also an animal remedy used to prevent and treat cobalt deficiency in livestock. It can also be dissolved in water and sprayed onto pasture or crops as an alternative method of getting cobalt into grazing animals. Cobalt sulfate is used in the electrochemical industries, as a drier in paints and inks, as a coloring agent, in storage batteries and as a supplement for Vitamin B12 deficiency. Exposure to cobalt sulfate results in irritation of the skin, eyes and respiratory tract and affects the thyroid, lungs, heart and kidneys. Cobalt sulfate is mutagenic in mammalian cells and is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals.
