Hi everyone! In this video I would like to tell you about the properties of such a metal as cobalt and also about why its compounds are added to litter tray. In the periodic table of chemical elements cobalt is located in the group 9, between iron and nickel in so-called ferromagnetic pyramid. The history of the use of cobalt dates back from thousands of years ago because its compounds have been added to glass, which gave glass a beautiful blue tint since the Bronze Age. Officially this metal was discovered by a Swedish chemist, Georg Brandt, in the early 18-th century. Nowadays cobalt is mostly extracted from cobalt-containing minerals which are mined along with nickel and copper and in this process cobalt is a by-product. After being electrolytically refined, pure metallic cobalt looks like gray metal the density of which is similar to that of copper. As I mentioned earlier cobalt is a ferromagnetic or in other words it strongly attracts to magnets and it can also get magnetized when placed in close withinity to a strong magnetic field. I even managed to magnetize a piece of cobalt which is why it began to get attracted to other cobalt pieces. Because of this property, this metal is used to make a magnetic alloy with samarium. Cobalt-samarium magnets have much stronger magnetic properties than usual ferrite magnets and also high operating temperature. Such metals, however, are quite fragile and they need to be dealt with very carefully.

I love cobalt blue. When you get a 5 gallon container of polyester resin for fiberglass the color is a deep blue. Is beautiful to look at.

[@abpsd73]

I worked at a fiberglass fabrication shop years ago, there were some resins that weren't "ready to use" that we had to add a cobalt naphthenate solution to before use. It had an indigo/purple color.

Cobalt is also used as a binder in tungsten carbide cutting tools, between 6 and 25 percent by weight to cement the grains of tungsten together.

I love that we got to see more of the beautiful Jellicoe cat in this video!

[@medexamtoolsdotcom]

Meow. You forgot to mention how it got its name. It's named after kobolds, the german goblin. This is because they would accidentally refine it as a byproduct of refining other metals that they did want, such as nickel, iron and copper. So I guess it's a goblin metal. If you made a sword out of cobalt, you could go to a sci-fi convention and say it's made out of goblin metal.

[@ironpulcinella3586]

Will it be blue?

[@mork6668]

Goblin metal,a sub genre of black metal!!

[@kadergumus2598]

Goblinium = Cobalt.

[@medexamtoolsdotcom]

@@ironpulcinella3586 No it's still a colorless metal, its compounds are used to color things blue but the element itself as you can see in the video is a boring looking metal. I think only gold, copper and cesium have any color to them, though I understand some alloys of copper, silver and gold are actually somewhat greenish, an alloy known as green gold.

[@msDanielp369]

How much would that cobalt sword or a dagger cost? In yens! Ofc >:V I'm a weeabo respect my culture

[@PyroThunder]

As a collector of antique cobalt blue glass I liked this video!

[@PlatinumRatio]

I'm a jeweller. Cobalt casting alloys (that are shitty) are often used and they need to be refined out if you plan to remelt and use it as a malleable wrought alloy. I always thought the orange colour was copper. I still think it's a big part, but I never knew that nitric reacted with cobalt that way. Thx

**Those crystalline cat litters are not really much, if any better than standard clay cat litter.** I change a litter box about once every 6-8 days, and it contains clay. There's never any smell from the litter box, and 99% of the urine is absorbed. Only if I wait more than 7-8+ days, will I see a spot of moisture on the bottom of the litter box, but it doesn't smell until the box is emptied and its exposed. We've also tried the crystalline litter, which is more than double the price, although each bag doesn't even contain an equal quantity to the clay stuff, so when I pour in the bag, it almost looks like there's not enough of it. Also, it really doesn't last longer, and some brands of it don't seem to absorb hardly any urine!

[@indahooddererste]

I make different types of metal catalysts for oil refining and we use a lot of cobalt/molybdenum mixtures. In the milled powdered form which we use it, is a grayish/blue hue. Very pretty. We also use cobalt oxide which is a dry powder as well but it's a pepto bismol pink color which is also a very nice color. We go through hundreds of thousands of kilo's of these materials. At the rate we handle it, it's very toxic from breathing, skin contact etc. We also make catalysts from a lot of different nickel compounds, copper and precious metals like platinum, silver etc.

[@davidblalock9945]

I remember when a bunch of idiots at my school on the student council pass a rule requiring the school to remove everything containing radioactive elements. So the principle asked the science teachers to compile a list of everything in the school containing radioactive elements. The principle then had members of the local hazmat crew "bag up and remove" those things in the school that had radioactive elements in them, including the members of the student council that voted to ban radioactive elements from the school.

@@denizbluemusic yeah i think about 0.0012% but still 'it is' radioactive! its a interesting fact that a lot of people don't know

[@denizbluemusic]

Willy Nebula but the thing is, its not just Potassium. Many Elements that are otherwise stable have naturally occuring radioisotopes too. For example: Calcium, Krypton, Tellurium, Rhenium, Indium, Platium and many others, Some other trace radioisotopes like Carbon-14 are important as they are use to date archeological discoveries. However, not counting trace radioisotopes, K40 is indeed the most radioactive as it has a shorter halflife than the most stable isotopes of Uranium and Thorium

About 40 years ago I camped out in a place near the Salmon Wilderness called Cobalt, Idaho It's one of the few cobalt deposits in the US, and it has been working off and on for a long time, mostly on a prospecting basis. It's still being managed, and as the price of cobalt continues to climb, it may become an important source someday. Developing domestic sources of materials like lithium, cobalt, rare earths and other strategic materials is important, but considering the quantities we consume in the US, I don't know how practical it is....

GREAT VIDEOS! ive been watching your videos for a while, very curious even without chemical knowledge. You mentioned " 06:28 the majority of extracted cobalt is used to produce lithium-ion batteries ". I heard that most of the cobalt is used for removing sulfur from oil/petroleum be means of a catalytic reaction, still a lot of cobalt left in the result product. Im amazed by how you eplain chemical reactions. Could you explain the way suflur is removed in oil and the resulting products?? Thanks so much for your videos.
