What is cobalt?

Cobalt is a hard, lustrous, silver-gray metal that is primarily used as an alloying element. It is critical for enhancing the strength, wear resistance, and high-temperature stability of various metals.

What are the primary uses of cobalt?

Battery Production: Essential for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and portable electronics. Aerospace and Industrial Alloys: Improves performance in jet engines, gas turbines, and high-speed tools. Catalysts and Pigments: Used in chemical catalysts and as a pigment in ceramics and glass.

Where is cobalt typically mined?

The majority of cobalt production comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, but significant deposits are also found in countries such as Russia, Australia, and Canada. Emerging mining operations are exploring opportunities in other regions as well.

How is cobalt processed?

Cobalt ore undergoes crushing, grinding, and flotation processes to concentrate the metal. It is then extracted via smelting and refining, often as a by-product of copper or nickel mining.
