Cobalt is now more abundant and still used to colour porcelain, pottery, glass, tiles, and enamel jewellery. Why is cobalt used in glass? Cobalt glass plates are used as an optical filter in flame tests to filter out the undesired strong yellow light emitted by traces of sodium, and expand Read more…
Historical uses and production The first recorded use of cobalt blue as a color name in English was in 1777. It was independently discovered as a pure alumina-based pigment by Louis Jacques Thénard in 1802. Commercial production began in France in 1807. When was the first pigments used? 40,000 years Read more…
The main reason for its wide use in radiotherapy is that it has a longer half-life, 5.27 years, than many other gamma emitters. However, this half-life still requires cobalt sources to be replaced about every 5 years. How is cobalt used in radiotherapy? Cobalt-60 systems, like the Gamma Knife, deliver Read more…
Cobalt radiation, or cobalt-60 therapy, is a specific type of radiation therapy that uses gamma rays from cobalt-60 radioisotopes to treat conditions such as cancer. Is cobalt treatment the same as radiation? Cobalt therapy is the medical use of gamma rays from the radioisotope cobalt-60 to treat conditions such as Read more…
Cobalt 60 (60Co) is often the ideal mode of radiation for treating laryngeal cancer. For primary treatment of laryngeal cancer, 60Co allows adequate dosing of the superficial tissues. Is Cobalt 60 used in cancer therapy? Cobalt therapy is the medical use of gamma rays from the radioisotope cobalt-60 to treat Read more…
Cobalt-60 (60Co) and caesium-137 (137Cs) are the most widely used sources of gamma radiation. Co produces gamma rays with energies of 1.173 and 1.332 MeV and has a half-life of 5.27 years, whereas 137Cs produces gamma rays with an energy of 0.662 MeV and has a longer half-life of 30.1 Read more…
