The concentrate is also used to produce pure tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) primarily utilized in the production of optical glass and lithium niobate. We produce five grades of tantalum concentrate at our Greenbushes plant in Western Australia. Currently the primary feedstock is ore mined at Greenbushes, while a small amount is sourced from other ...
Generally, the tantalum values in solution are converted into potassium tantalum fluoride (K 2 TaF 7) or tantalum oxide (Ta 2 O 5). The niobium is recovered as niobium oxide (Nb 2 O 5) via neutralization of the niobium fluoride complex with ammonia to form the hydroxide, followed by calcination to the oxide.
a typical niobium-rich ore or concentrate. The process selected as a result of the research consisted of the following processing steps: * 1. Digestion of the ore or concentrate with hydrofluoric acld. 2. Extraction of niobium and tantalum from the digested mass with an organic solvent such as methyl isobutyl ketone. 3.

Tantalum concentrate is the feed source used by the processors to produce tantalum capacitor powders and metallurgical products. The concentrate is also used to produce pure tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) primarily utilized in the production of optical glass and lithium niobate. The primary feedstock is ore mined at the Volta Grande Mine operations.

Tantalum ore has characteristically grades of about 0.03% Ta 2 O 5, generally as a co-product of cassiterite and other minerals. Note that because of facile overgrinding, metallurgical recovery of columbite by crushing and milling hard-rock ore is often as low as 50%. Tantalum is silvery grey, heavy and very hard but malleable and ductile.
Initial concentration is normally undertaken at, or close to, the mine site and involves crushing the ore followed by separation of niobium and tantalum ore from gangue56 material, using a combination of physical and chemical methods. Although niobium and tantalum are geochemically similar each requires a different processing route.
The tantalum free raffinate is treated with hydrofluoric acid, to prepare the feed solution for niobium extraction having a HF concentration of 16 M. Niobium is extracted (K eq_Nb = 421, at 30 °C) in a 3 stage counter-current process using 10 v/v% TOA in 1:1 DD:ID as the extractant. O/A ratio for niobium extraction is two.
