Cobalt processing | Uses, Supply, & Facts | Britannica
cobalt processing, preparation of the metal for use in various products. Below 417 °C (783 °F), cobalt (Co) has a stable hexagonal close-packed crystal structure. At higher temperatures up to the melting point of 1,495 °C (2,723 °F), the stable form is face-centred cubic. The metal has 12 radioactive isotopes, none of which occurs naturally.

Nickel processing
The extraction of nickel from ore follows much the same route as copper, and indeed, in a number of cases, similar processes and equipment are used. The major … See more
Processing of Nickel Laterite Ores on the Rise
Traditionally, nickel has been processed from sulfide ores in an approach similar to copper processing, in which the ore is upgraded to concentrates and then smelted. As sulfide ore resources dwindle, however, processing of lateritic nickel ores is becoming of greater necessity, with many recognizing nickel laterite ores as the future of the ...
Extraction of Nickel and Cobalt from Sulfide Ores
The primary advantages of pyrometallurgical processing of nickel sulfide flotation concentrates are that iron and sulfur are removed from the concentrate during smelting and converting with a ...
