The extraction of niobium and tantalum from tantalite can be divided into three activities, viz., acid treatment of the ore to bring the niobium and tantalum values into solution, separation of niobium and tantalum by solvent extraction and preparation of pure niobium pentoxide and tantalum pentoxide by precipitation followed by calcination. An initial solution was prepared by melting a ...

Yellowcake, chemically U 3 O 8, is a uranium concentrate powder recovered from leach solutions. Yellowcake is an intermediate step in the processing of uranium ores and in the nuclear fuel production. Typically, yellowcake can be obtained through the conventional milling and chemical processing of uranium ore forming a coarse powder.
Niobium and tantalum are chemically similar and are associated with each other in nature which makes it very difficult to separate. For many years, the separation of tantalum from niobium involved the fractional crystallization of potassium heptafluorotantalate away from potassium oxypentafluoroniobate monohydrate, this method has been supplanted by solvent extraction from fluoridecontaining ...
A method is proposed for the rapid extraction and separation of microgram amounts of niobium(V). The niobium is extracted quantitatively by 100 % TBP from M (initial) hydrochloric acid and determined spectrophotometrically as the thiocyanate in TBPacetophenone solution. Beer's Law is obeyed at 430 mmu over the range mug ml . The system is stable for 72 hr. Caesium, calcium ...
tantalum from niobium was obtained when the free hydrofluoric acid content was low. Other less corrosive systems were investigated for separating tantalum from niobium by liquidliquid extraction. Extr2ction of hydro fluoric acid solutions of niobium and tantalum;which had been partially

stage extractions until equilibrium was obtained. Analyses of the equilibrium phases allowed calculation of the individual distribution coefficients, mass transfers from the aqueous phase to the organic phase and separation factors for each case. These equilibrium data afforded a method whereby the separation effectiveness of the various liquidliquid systems were compared. From the single ...
Processing: extraction and refining. Cambior, Ferroniobium production (Rachelle Bergeron) Two separate processing schemes are utilized for niobium production. Those companies that mine pyrochlore convert the niobium oxide units into HSLA ferroniobium through the aluminothermic reduction process or by reduction in an electric arc furnace. CBMM has installed capacity for the production of a high ...
· Fine purifiion of niobium(V) to remove tantalum(V) by extraction was studied at various compositions of solutions and ratios of phase volumes. Washing of tantalum(V) and niobium(V) extracts with aqueous solutions of their fluorides was considered.
The liquidliquid extraction of niobium, tantalum and titanium involves the process solution of perovskite decomposition with sulphuric acid [7] with the contents (g/1): 1,7 Nt^Os; 0,04 Ta2O5; 14,6 TiO2; 6,2 Fe2O3; 900 H2SO4. At the first stage of extraction D2EPHA in an inert dilutant was used. The extraction degree to the organic phase was, respectively: 98,9 Nb2O5; 99,8 Ta2O5; 99,8 TiO2. Me ...

Niobium processing, preparation of niobium ore for use in various products.. Niobium (Nb) has a bodycentred cubic (bcc) crystal structure and a melting point of 2,468 °C (4,474 °F). Of the refractory metals, it has the lowest density and best workability; for this reason, niobiumbased alloys are often used in aerospace appliions.
Tantalum And Niobium Extraction And Beneficiation Process. Niobium, also known as columbium, is one of the new industrial metals likely to play an important role in industrial processing in the near high melting point (f) and low cross section for neutron absorption ( barns) makes it of special interest to the atomic energy tantalum, which invariably ...

· The extraction of niobium from other mineral concentrates and tin slags uses the same technology as that of tantalum, that is, digestion with hydrofluoric acid followed by liquidliquid extraction with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) Niobium oxide is precipitated from the niobium stream by ammonia and then purified and calcined. Niobium oxide is aluminothermically reduced batchwise to produce ...
tantalum and niobium extraction increased, which can be attributed to the fact that more tantalum and niobium complexes combined with MIBK. The extraction of tantalum was almost completed at an O/A ratio of 3:1, but the extraction of niobium was small. Therefore the best separation of tantalum and niobium was achieved at an O/A ratio of 3:1. Figure 3(b) shows that the separation factor of Ta ...
