Information  at a Glance Contents on the CD ROM
  • Cobalt is the 33rd abundant element (0.0025%, 20ppm) on the earth’s crust. It usually has a formation of arsenides, sulfides, and oxide with other element such as nickel and copper.
  • Cobalt is a
    common impurity in both non-ferrous
    mineral sulfide and oxide processing.
  • Congo continued to be the world’s leading source of mined cobalt, supplying more than one-half of world cobalt mine production.
  • Average annual cobalt prices more than doubled, owing to strong demand from consumers, limited availability of cobalt on the spot market, and an increase in metal purchases by investors.
  • The vast majority of these resources are in sediment-hosted stratiform copper
    deposits in Congo (Kinshasa) and Zambia; nickel-bearing laterite deposits in Australia and nearby island countries
    and Cuba; and magmatic nickel-copper sulfide deposits hosted in mafic and ultramafic rocks in Australia, Canada, Russia, and the United States.
  • The AmmLeach® process uses ammonia-based chemistry to selectively leach the target metals, leaving the rest behind in the leach residue. This approach eliminates any need to clean the solution of unwanted metals and the consequent metal losses. After solid–liquid separation, the leach solution is immediately subjected to separation and concentration of the copper and cobalt using solvent extraction and electro winning.
  • The Chinese have been
    commercially extracting cobalt for over 50 years, and technically they are very, efficient
