Industrial, Food and Drug Uses
• Addition of cobalt sulfate in nickel plating baths makes metals treated better, stronger, more ductile and smoother. The mineral also occurs in shades of red pottery and porcelain glazes and helps to dry and fix the inks on lithographs.
• Brewers once used it to prolong the life of beer foam, and ranchers were dosed cattle with it or fertilizer enriched with it to ensure that their animals get enough trace elements needed to produce vitamin B12. Moreover, until recently, cobalt sulfate has a therapeutic role in treating certain forms of anemia.
