摘 要：Cobalt is classified as a strategic and critical metal that is integral to a country's economy. A lack in availability of a strategic metal could severely affect the economic, industrial, and defensive capability of a country. Cobalt is obtained from its minerals cobaltite, smaltite, and erythrite. The economic means of producing cobalt is to produce it as a by-product of nickel, lead, silver, iron, and copper ore operations. Cobalt can also be produced through recycling. Cobalt and its alloys find application in numerous sectors and industries such as Battery, Superalloys, Defense, and Catalysts.
