I've got a reaction where Co(acac)3 is synthesised starting with Co(ii) in the form of Co(CO3). Acetylacetonate (2,4-pentanedione) is added and H2O2.

I know H2O2 is the oxidant to carry Co2+ to Co3+,
Co2+ + H2O2  :rarrow: Co3+

I can't figure out the balanced equation of the chemical reaction:
x·Co(CO3) + y·H2O2  :rarrow: ?? + ??

This is the overview of the whole reaction:
