New Market Research Report: Global Cobalt Market 2015-2019
Cobalt is a chemical element obtained in combination with other elements in minerals such as skutterudite (a cobalt-nickel arsenide), carrollite (a copper-cobalt-(nickel) sulfide), and asbolane (a nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide). Cobalt is obtained from three main ore deposits: sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits, magmatic nickel sulfide deposits, and nickel laterite deposits. It is generally processed as a byproduct of processed nickel and copper ores. Cobalt and its alloys find application in numerous industries such as battery chemicals, superalloys, defense, and catalysts.
