Historio
Cobalt compounds have been used for centuries to impart a rich blue color to glass, glazes and ceramics.

The element was first isolated by Swedish chemist George Brandt in 1735.

He showed it was the presence of the element cobalt that caused the blue color in glass, not bismuth as previously thought.

Aplikoj
Cobalt is used in the preparation of magnetic, wear-resistant and high-strength alloys.

Cobalt is widely used in batteries and in electroplating.

Radioactive 60Co is used in the treatment of cancer.

A solution of the chloride is used as a sympathetic ink.
Cobalt and its compounds are considered to be slightly toxic
