Abstract

A platinum-lined, flowing autoclave facility was used to investigate the solubility behavior of cobalt(II) oxide (CoO) in deoxygenated ammonium and sodium hydroxide solutions between 22 and 288°C. Co(II) ion activity in aqueous solution was controlled by a hydrous Co(II) oxide when nitrogen was used for deoxygenation and by metallic cobalt when hydrogen was used. Measured cobalt solubilities are interpreted using a Co(II) ion hydroxo- and amminocomplexing model and thermodynamic functions for these equilibria were obtained from a least-squares analysis of the data. A common set of thermodynamic properties for the species Co(OH)+, Co(OH)2(aq) and Co(OH)(NH3)+ is provided to permit accurate cobalt oxide solubility calculations over broad ranges of temperature and alkalinity.
