Niobium is roughly 10 times more abundant in the crust of the Earth than is tantalum. Niobium, more plentiful than lead and less abundant than copper in the Earth's crust, occurs dispersed except for relatively few minerals. Of these minerals, the columbite–tantalite series, in which columbite (FeNb 2 O 6) and tantalite (FeTa 2 O 6) …

Tantalum and niobium are extracted from a variety of minerals and concentrates. The major source of niobium and tantalum is columbite-tantalite, also called coltan, with a general chemical formula (Fe,Mn)(Nb,Ta) 2 O 6.The two elements also exist in more than 150 other minerals and are usually present as complex metal oxides and …
Lake tantalum ore concentrator in Canada with its spiral circuit, the sand table and the fine ore section, and the slime treatment section (Fig. 3). Bernic Lake was the first tantalum mine in the western world to introduce flotation in its slime treatment section (Burt 1979). Tantalum recoveries between 72

Niobium and tantalum, characterized by high melting point, remarkable corrosion resistance, and good cold workability, are widely used in steel, petrochemical, electronics, and aerospace [1, 2].The main ore sources for the production of tantalum and niobium include pyrochlore, microlite, tantalite, columbite, and columbo-tantalite …
Niobium and columbium are synonymous names for the chemical element with atomic number 41; columbium was the name given in 1801, and niobium (Nb) was the name officially designated by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry in 1950. …
Introduction. Niobium, tantalum and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are included in the 2017 year list of the 27 critical raw materials of the European Union due to their importance for high-tech products and emerging innovations and the risk in the security of supply and economic importance (EU, 2017). 1 Up to 30% of the required energy to …
bite, tantalum minerals and tin slags are important raw materials for the production of niobium and its compounds. In 1980 the world's tantalum consumption (tantalum metal and tantalum compounds) was approximately 3.3 million lbs. Ta 0 processing of the corresponding raw materials approximately 2.3 million lbs. Nb 0 were produced as a by …
A new improved method is proposed for the leaching and extraction of niobium from a low-grade refractory niobium-tantalum ore.The ore was roasted and decomposed with concenrated H2SO4 then leached ...
Tantalum oxide on chlorination gives only TaCl 5 11, 12.On the contrary, the chlorination of Nb 2 O 5 can produce NbOCl 3, as reported by different authors 11, 12.The oxychloride is thermodynamically favoured as compared to the respective chloride, as shown in Fig. 2.. Fig. 2 also shows the stable states of the different reaction products. …

1.. IntroductionAt present, most ores containing niobium and tantalum are decomposed by concentrated hydrofluoric acid. However, such an approach is only appropriate for high-grade niobium–tantalum ore, and special containers are required due to the remarkable corrosiveness of hydrofluoric acid (HF) (Miller, 1959, El-Hussaini, …

The major gangue minerals present in this ore were soda and potassium feldspars with small amounts of mica and quartz. Beneficiation of this ore using cationic flotation, normally employed for flotation of niobium, was not applicable for this particular ore, since most of the mica and feldspar floated with the niobium and tantalum.
