Industrial Uses

1. Agrochemicals

  • Micronutrient Fertilizer (Cobalt Supplement) : Used as a trace element fertilizer to supply bioavailable cobalt, which is essential for nitrogen fixation in legumes and for enzyme activation in plant metabolism.
  • Soil Amendment for Legume Crops : Applied to leguminous plants (e.g., peas, beans, alfalfa) to support the activity of Rhizobium bacteria in root nodules, which convert atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms.
  • Foliar Spray Additive : Used in foliar applications to quickly correct cobalt deficiency and promote healthier plant growth and nodulation.

2. Animal Healthcare

  • Nutritional Additive for Ruminants : Cobalt is a key component of Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) synthesis in ruminants. EDTA Cobalt is used in mineral premixes and feed supplements to ensure proper digestive health, metabolism, and red blood cell formation.
  • Enhanced Bioavailability : Chelated cobalt (via EDTA) offers greater absorption and utilization in animals compared to inorganic cobalt salts, resulting in better health and productivity.

3. Performance Chemicals

  • Intermediate in Cobalt Compound Synthesis : Used to produce other cobalt-based compounds or metal-organic complexes, thanks to its controlled solubility and coordination properties.
  • Complexing Agent in Electroplating Baths : Helps maintain stable cobalt concentration in electroplating solutions, enhancing deposition quality and uniformity.

4. Pharmaceuticals

  • Vitamin B12 Synthesis Support (Biotech Fermentation) : Used in fermentation processes for the biosynthesis of Vitamin B12, where cobalt acts as a central atom in cobalamin.
  • Trace Mineral Source in Supplements : Occasionally used in mineral formulations for human or veterinary use, where accurate dosing and bioavailability are critical.
