Description and Uses

The blue, crystalline hydrate Co2(SO4)3.18H2O is prepared by the oxidation of cobalt(II) sulphate in 8N sulphuric acid either electrolytically or chemically with ozone or fluorine. It is stable in the dry state, but is decomposed by water with evolution of oxygen; it is fairly stable in solution in dilute sulphuric acid. Cobalt(III) alums MCo(SO4)2.12H2O (M = K, Rb, Cs or NH4) can be isolated as blue crystals from the mixed cooler solutions of the two sulphates in dilute sulphuric acid. The potassium alum is diamagnetic, the rubidium salt has a magnetic moment less than 1 B.M. and the ammonium alum has a moment of 2.1 B.M. at 304°K. The hydrated sulphate also has a small positive magnetic susceptibility. The sulphate is believed like the alums to contain the [Co(H2O)6]3+ ion.

Cobalt(II) Sulphate is used in batteries and fuel cells that display long-term stability.
