Cobaut
is a
chemical element
wi symbol
Co
an atomic nummer 27. Lik nickel, cobaut in the Yird's crust is foond anly in chemically combined furm, save for smaa deposits foond in alloys o naitural
meteoric iron
. The free element, produced bi reductive
smeltin
, is a haird, lustrous, siller-gray
metal
Cobaut-based blue pigments (
cobalt blue
) hae been uised syne auncient times for jewelry an pents, an tae impairt a distinctive blue tint tae gless, but the colour wis later thocht bi alchemists tae be due tae the kent metal
bismuth
. Miners haed lang uised the name
kobold
ure
(German for
goblin ure
) for some o the blue-pigment producin
minerals
; thay war sae named acause thay war puir in kent metals, an gae pushionous
arsenic
-containin fumes whan smeltit. In 1735, sic ures war foond tae be reducible tae a new metal (the first diskivert syne ancient times), an this wis ultimately named for the
kobold
The day, some cobaut is produced speceefically frae ane o a nummer o metallic-lustered ures, sic as for example
cobaltite
(Co
As
). The element is houiver mair uisually produced as a bi-product o
capper
an
nickel
minin.
The capper belt
in the
Democratic Republic o the Congo
(DRC) an
Zambie
yields maist o the global cobalt production. The DRC alane accountit for mair nor 50% o warld production in 2016 (123,000 tonnes), accordin tae
Natural Resources Canada
Cobalt is primarily uised in the manufactur o
magnetic
, wear-resistant an heich-strenth
alloys
. The compoonds cobaut silicate an
cobaut(II) aluminate
(CoAl
, cobaut blue) gie a distinctive deep blue colour tae
gless
ceramics
inks
pents
an
varnishes
. Cobaut occurs naiturally as anerly ane stable
isotope
, cobalt-59.
Cobalt-60
is a commercially important radioisotope, uised as a
radioactive tracer
an for the production o heich energy
gamma rays
Cobalt is the active centre o a group of
coenzymes
cried
cobalamins
veetamin B
12
, the best-kent example of the teep, is an essential
veetamin
for aw ainimals. Cobaut in inorganic form is an aw a
micronutrient
for
bacteria
algae
, an
fungi
