The element now known as niobium was originally named columbium for its place of discovery in the basin of the Columbia River in 1801. It was not until the 1950s that niobium became an exploration target for geologists, after which discoveries were made in carbonatite plugs in Brazil, Canada, Europe and Africa (Perrault and Manker, 1981).A …
Solvent extraction, on the other hand, releases organic solvents which are lost irreversibly via natural evaporation during the process. This research demonstrates …
