Columbite-tantalite group minerals are the most common Nb-Ta minerals. Columbite-tantalite is particularly suitable for U-Pb dating due to its high U and low common Pb contents. ... Th/Pb and Pb/Pb ratios and related ages, and calculation of errors were done using the CAMECA SIMS data processing software and an in-house Excel …
About 34 minerals deposits have been identified in Nigeria and one of such is Columbite. There is no available data on the volume of columbite deposit in Nigeria. They are known to occure in the following states Plateau, Kano, Kaduna, Bauchi, Kogi, Kwaara and Nasarawa States. ... COLUMBITE ORE MINING AND PROCESSING IN NIGERIA, …
While their microwave dielectric properties were inferior to the tantalum-based perovskites (t f = -30 ppm/ • C, Qf ∼100 000 GHz for BZN) [287], columbite ore was only $8/kg in 2001/2, with 80 ...
A piece of columbite–tantalite, size 6.0 × 2.5 × 2.1 cm. Coltan (short for columbite–tantalites and known industrially as tantalite) is a dull black metallic ore from which the elements niobium and tantalum are extracted. The niobium-dominant mineral in coltan is columbite (after niobium's original American name columbium), and the …

A, Sukop, P Vol.11, No.6 1. INTRODUCTION Recent economic and technological changes in mineral processing techniques have enabled old dumped tailings of columbite to become profitable to process again. Columbite contains oxide of niobium (Nb2O5) and oxide of tantalum (Ta2O5) in different proportions.
In the present work, BHA and SIBX are introduced as a mixed collector suite to improve the flotation of columbite-tantalite at reduced cost. The flotation performance of the mixed BHA–SIBX collector is compared to the results acquired using BHA alone. The economic benefit and future potential of the mixed BHA–SIBX collector are also assessed.

Contact angles on columbite were investigated, at three concentration levels of quaternary amine chloride 2.5, 12.5, and 250 mg per liter. No contact was obtained on columbite with 250 mg per liter collector concentration at pH levels of 2, 4, or 6. Double layering of the collector on the mineral surface may be the reason for this effect.
The investigation of the evolution of the dielectric properties during the roasting reaction is a key feature in underpinning the mechanism for designing a new microwave assisted high-temperature process for the selective separation of niobium and tantalum oxides from the remainder mineral crystalline lattice. Current methodologies for …
