A semi-transparent, bright, bluish-green with a low tinting strength, cobalt green is extremely permanent – like many pigments produced at high temperatures. In 1780, the process for making a compound of cobalt and zinc was developed by the Swedish chemist Sven Rinman. What is cobalt green used for? Cobalt green Read more…
Cobalt-60 is used for food irradiation because it is inexpensive, has a desirable half-life, is not water-soluble, and is non-fissile. Food irradiation is a process by which the agricultural industry uses radioactive isotopes to sterilize food. What is cobalt-60 commonly used for? What is it used for? Co-60 is used Read more…
The advantages of Co/sup 60/ therapy over conventional x-ray therapy, stemming from the fact that in the lst instance energy absorption within the tissues is by the Compton effect and in the 2nd case by the photoelectric effect, are: (1) increased skin tolerance, (2) reduced bone absorption, (3) increase in Read more…
3.3. 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 Read more…
Cobalt-60 is a neutron activation product formed from structural materials in nuclear reactors. It can also be produced industrially through neutron activation of stable cobalt. It is used in nuclear medicine. Radiocobalts (the radioactive isotopes of cobalt) are found in nuclear power reactors. Is cobalt used in nuclear power plants? Read more…
Co-60 is used medically for radiation therapy as implants and as an external source of radiation exposure. It is used industrially in leveling gauges and to x-ray welding seams and other structural elements to detect flaws. Is cobalt treatment still used? Current use Cobalt treatment still has a useful role Read more…
Nonradioactive cobalt occurs naturally in various minerals and has long been used as a blue coloring agent for ceramic and glass. Radioactive Co-60 is produced commercially through linear acceleration for use in medicine and industry. What type of radiation is cobalt-60? gamma raysCobalt-60 emits two high energy gamma rays, making Read more…
While the studies and patient concerns establishing the invasive impacts of cobalt toxicity resulting from metal-on-metal hip implants are accessible online, however, metal-on-metal hip implants are still widely used in total hip replacement surgeries today. Are hip replacements still made of cobalt? Historically, this is made from cobalt-chromium and/or titanium Read more…
