  Extractive metallurgy of columbite-tantalite ore: A detailed …

  2022121 · The increased demand of metals such as tantalum (Ta) and niobium (Nb) reflect the on-going development in modern science, engineering and technology. The extraction of these two metals from columbite-tantalite ore is based on generic extractive metallurgy. However, the upstream purification of ore and downstream extraction of Ta …

  Age of the Dahongliutan rare metal pegmatite deposit, West ...

  Dahongliutan is a medium-size Li–Be–Ta–Nb rare metal pegmatite deposit in the Tianshuihai terrane, West Kunlun orogenic belt (NW China). In this paper, LA–ICP–MS U–Pb ages of columbite- (Fe) and cassiterite are reported to constrain the metallogenic age. Columbite- (Fe) (with high U and low Th) yielded a Late Triassic weighted mean 206 Pb/ …

  Columbite Ore Mining And Processing In Nigeria, The Pre …

  2015730 · Columbite has the same composition and crystal symmetry (orthorombic) as tantalite. In fact, the two are often grouped together as a semi-singular mineral series called columbite-tantalite or coltan in many mineral guides. However, tantalite has a much greater specific gravity than columbite, more than 8.0 compared to columbite’s 5.2.

  Radionuclides and Radiation Exposure in Tantalite Mining, Ethiopia

  202162 · Tantalite and columbite ores have been reported as containing associated primordial radionuclides, such as uranium and thorium. Ethiopia is one of the world suppliers of tantalite ore through exploitation of Kenticha mine and tantalite production by a large number of artisanal miners. For the purpose of implementing the international standards …
