The purpose of this investigation was to determine the flotation characteristics of important columbium / tantalum ore minerals as a guide for the practical concentration of low-grade columbium ores.. Placer deposits amenable to gravity concentration have been the major source of columbium; however, these deposits are limited.

Columbite and tantalite, either naturally occurring or synthetically produced as concentrates from tinslag, are digested with hydrofluoric acid at elevated temperatures. The accompanying elements are dissolved along with the niobium and tantalum, which form the complex heptafluorides 2NbF 7 and H 2HTaF 7. After filtering the insoluble residue ...

Tantalite forms a solid solution series with Columbite known as the Columbite-Tantalite series. Tantalite is the tantalum-rich member, and Columbite is the niobium-rich member. Tantalite is named after its tantalum content, and, together with Columbite, are the most important minerals containing the rare element tantalum.

The overgrowths of tantalite on columbite from the Penouta leucogranite, as well as in other granites (Dostal et al., Reference Dostal, Kontak, Gerel, Shellnutt and Fayek 2015) could be interpreted differently from the Ta-rich rims that formed in a continuous mineral crystallization, however.

Late metasomatic tantalite-(Mn) is characterized by sharp changes in its REE distribution pattern: decreasing total REE contents, changing shape of the REE distribution pattern, the absence of Eu anomaly and tetrad effects, and the appearance of a negative Ce anomaly. The textural characteristics and mineral chemistry of CGM indicate that the ...

Columbite, also called niobite, niobite-tantalite and columbate, is a black mineral group that is an ore of niobium and tantalum. It has a submetallic luster and a high density and is a niobate of iron and manganese, containing tantalate of iron. Columbite and tantalite are collectively known as coltan in Africa.
