In order to precipitate cobalt(Ⅱ) in cobalt chloride solution, a novel method using ozone as the precipitant for its strong oxidability was proposed. The results show that the precipitation reaction is diffusion-controlled. The main factors affecting the oxidation rate such as the stirring speed, solution temperature, ozone partial pressure, initial concentration and flow rate were investigated. The kinetics equation of each condition was established. The results indicate that the oxidation rate is independent of the initial concentration or solution temperature. The oxidation rate increases obviously with increasing the stirring speed. The linear relationship between ozone partial pressure or flow rate and oxidation rate is found.
