Recovery of niobium and tantalum by solvent
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 In modern Russian realities, roasting and hydrometallurgical processing of ores and concentrates using sulfuric acid and lime-soda methods seem to be practically uncontested. The present study provides a thorough review of technologies of Li production from such industrial sources, as spodumene, lepidolite, petalite, and mica.Processing of lithium ores: Industrial technologies and case studies

Leaching of niobium and tantalum from a low-grade ore
The niobium–tantalum ore sample, Nb 2 O 5 (99.99%) and Ta 2 O 5 (99.99%) were supplied by the Ningxia Orient Tantalum Industry Co. The ore sample was dried, screened and analysed using ICP-OES (PE Optima 5300DV, Perkin Elmer) as shown in Table 1. In this paper, a hydrometallurgy process was investigated for recovering The present work has demonstrated the possibility of processing tantalite minerals into tantalum and niobium oxides using a process based on the carbothermic reduction of tantalite ore with solid carbon (activated charcoal) in the presence of alkali in the temperature range of 800 °C to 950 °C without the use of hydrofluoric acidAn investigation on hydrofluoric (HF) acid-free

Leaching of niobium and tantalum from a low-grade ore
In this process, the ore is decomposed in concentrated KOH solution (sub-molten salt) at atmospheric pressure, giving about 10% higher decomposition than that for the HF process. Treatment of fluorine-containing waste gas from hydrometallurgy of tantalum and niobium ore. Nonferrous Metals, 50 (4) (1998), pp. 141-142 (in Chinese) In the new process, low-grade niobium–tantalum ore is decomposed in fluid medium of concentrated KOH solution under atmospheric pressure, and the reaction and mass transfer are significantly enhanced. As a result, the decomposition rate of niobium–tantalum ore is greatly improved at a relatively low temperature.A kinetic study of the leaching of a low-grade niobium–tantalum ore

The end product of mineral processing is an ore concentrate ( Fig. 6.2) that is then put through a metallurgical process. Pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, or other chemical methods are used to refine the concentrate for extraction of metals in 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 H2SO4, grinding fineness, leaching time, and temperature on the leaching rate of Ta, Nb, Fe, and Si were studied.

Materials Free Full-Text Hydrometallurgical Process for Tantalum
Tantalum is a critical metal that is widely used in electronic products. The demand for tantalum is increasing, but the supply is limited. As tantalum waste products have increased in Taiwan in recent years, the treatment of spent tantalum capacitors has become necessary and important. The recycling of tantalum from tantalum capacitors will Demand for niobium and tantalum is increasing exponentially as these are essential ingredients for the manufacture of, among others, capacitors in technological devices and ferroniobium. Mine tailings rich in such elements could constitute an important source of Nb and Ta in the future and alleviate potential supply risks.
