Description    Cobalt Nitrate is the cobalt salt form of nitrate, usually existing in the form of hexahydrate. It is used in manufacture of cobalt pigments and invisible inks; decorating stoneware and porcelain; preparation of catalysts; production of vitamin B12 supplements; a battery additive. It is commonly reduced, acting as the source of metallic high purity cobalt for use in the electronics and related industries. It can be absorbed on to various catalyst supports for use in Fischer-Tropsch catalysis. It also finds application in the synthesis of benzimidazole and benzothiazole compounds, which show significant and promising activities against various viruses such as HIV and HCMV-1.
