Abstract. A stable and continuous leaching process for niobium and tantalum extraction from ferrocolumbium tantalum (FT) was developed. The effects of initial concentration of HF and H 2 SO 4, grinding fineness, leaching time, and temperature on the leaching rate of Ta, Nb, Fe, and Si were studied.Experimental results show that the …

The separation process of tantalum in kenticha mine site is gravity separation because of the density difference among the associated mineral or the gangue. Niobium and tantalum are chemically similar and are related to one another in nature which makes it hard to isolate. Basically, the most usable technology for separation of tantalum from ...

Tantalum (Ta) has a very high melting point (2996°C), exceeded only by that of carbon, tungsten, and rhenium, and is remarkably resistant to attack by air, water and most acids. Tantalum is a hard, grayish-blue, metallic element. Tantalum Mining. Tantalum is recovered from ore minerals such as columbite and tantalite that are mined in open ...

The separation effectivity of tantalum from niobium was also determined in dynamic studies using a fixed-bed column with MIBK-impregnated active carbon. Solutions of various Nb:Ta weight ratios (1 ...

This process achieves efficient separation of Ta and Nb from the leachates while eliminating the unwanted accompanying impurities. The mechanisms of solvent extraction when applied to recovery of Ta and Nb from HF-based leachates, largely depend on the chemical nature of the Ta and Nb complexes ( Mayorov and Nikolaev, 2002 ).

After processing tin (Sn) [9, 10] the tailings slag occurs, in which niobium and tantalum can be obtained, representing a secondary source of these metals [9, 11,12,13,14]. However, a purification and separation step is required to obtain the metals of interest [ 15, 16 ].

Recently, a new method for the separation and purification of niobium and tantalum was proposed by which tantalum and niobium can be effectively separated from pure solution using MIBK with reduced fluorine pollution (Xu, 2010). Based on this method, a new process to separate and purify tantalum and niobium in the tantalum–niobium …

At present, the main roughing method of tantalum niobium ore is gravity separation. Due to the low grade of tantalum niobite and the relatively high density of useful minerals, it is most suitable to use gravity separation with relatively low-cost method for roughing separation. The general process to process this type ore is washing--jigging ...

industrial process. Such slags can already be considered as an eventual and important source of refractory metals as tantalum and niobium.4 Indeed, tantalum production from tin slag in Thailand and Malaysia represented 13% of the total tantalum production in 2010.6 Therefore, the circularity of this kind of metals is specially important.7
