Preparation of spherical cobalt carbonate from cobalt sulfate solution

从硫酸钴水溶液中制备球形碳酸钴（英文）

A precursor of cobaltous dihydroxycarbonate was firstly prepared by precipitation reaction of cobalt sulfate solution and ammonium carbonate solution,and then a hydrothermal process for the precursor was conducted to obtain the spherical cobalt carbonate with low sulfur content.The experimental results show that the feeding method,final p H value of the precipitation reaction slurry and the concentration of the cobalt sulfate solution have obvious effects on the sulfur content,morphology and particle size distribution of the precursor.The sulfur content of the precursor is 0.0115 wt.%under the optimized conditions.The hydrothermal treatment with temperatures of 125-150℃can transform the precursor of cobaltous dihydroxycarbonate into spherical cobalt carbonate and decrease the sulfur content to 0.0030 wt.%in the obtained product.

采用硫酸钴溶液与碳酸铵溶液沉淀反应制备碱式碳酸钴前驱体。前驱体经水热转型处理获得低硫球形碳酸钴产品。实验结果表明:加料方式、沉淀反应的最终pH值和硫酸钴溶液浓度对碱式碳酸钴前驱体硫含量和形貌及前驱体颗粒尺寸分布均有明显的影响,在最佳条件下所得前驱体的硫含量为0.0115%(质量分数)。在125~150℃下对前驱体进行水热处理,可使碱式碳酸钴转化为球形碳酸钴,其硫含量降低至0.0030%(质量分数)。
