In these figures dissolution fractions, a, of Nb or Ta from columbite and tantalite were plotted against
23 Columbite-tantalite ages from 14 Nb–Ta deposits in South China were reported. • Five distinct Nb–Ta mineralisation events (424–391, 248–204, 160–150, ∼130, and ∼90 Ma) in South China were revealed.
Compositionally, columbite-tantalite of the Li-albite granites is constrained between MnNb 2 O 6 and MnTa 2 O 6 (the Ta/(Nb+Ta) atom. ratio ranges between 0.10 and 0.80). This low to high ratio and the association of columbite-tantalite with topaz, fluorite and lithian micas (in the series zinnwaldite-white mica) indicate a higher solubility ...
Columbite-tantalite recovery was the highest at 3:1 BHA–SIBX among the tested collector suites. Using the 3:1 mixed BHA–SIBX collector yielded a more negative columbite-tantalite in comparison to that measured with BHA alone. This indicated the improved adsorption of the BHA–SIBX mixture on the columbite-tantalite surface and …

LCT (lithium–cesium–tantalum) pegmatites from the Kaustinen and Kolmozero regions contain columbite–tantalite mineralization, which has been presented in this study. Crystal structure, Raman microscopy, and optical property analyses of these minerals were performed. As a result of the structural studies and micro-area analyses, it was …
Since 2006, our working group has been investigating columbite-tantalite (coltan) mineralisation, especially in Africa, also within the wider framework of establishing certified trade chains. More ...
The chlorination of columbite-tantalite in the presence of a reducing carbon bed produces a mixture of volatile tantalum, niobium, iron, tin, aluminium and manganese chlorides along with niobium oxychloride. Gaballah et al. (1997) studied the chlorination of Ta and Nb oxides in tin slag at 1000 °C. Approximately 95 % Ta and Nb compounds with ...

The mineral group tantalite [(Fe, Mn)Ta 2 O 6] is the primary source of the chemical element tantalum, a corrosion (heat and acid) resistant metal.It is chemically similar to columbite, and the two are often grouped together as a semi-singular mineral called coltan or "columbite-tantalite" in many mineral guides. However, tantalite has a much greater …
Abstract. Columbite–tantalite (Coltan) is the most important niobium (Nb)- and tantalum (Ta)-bearing economic mineral, commonly occurring in rare metal granite and pegmatite, alkaline granite, syenite and carbonatite. Its high U but low common Pb contents make it an ideal mineral for U–Pb isotopic dating of Nb–Ta mineralization.
Columbite. Columbite, also called niobite, niobite-tantalite and columbate [ (Fe, Mn) (Nb, Ta) 2 O 6 ], 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. This mineral group was first found at Haddam, Middlesex ...

The dependence of columbite–tantalite (Nb2O5-59 wt. %, Ta2O5-18 wt. %) solubility as a function of solution composition, T, and P has also been investigated. Tantalum and Nb concentrations have the highest values in HF solutions at reduced conditions (up to 10−3 to 10−2 m Ta in 1 m HF). In 1 m NaF solutions, the …
Columbite-tantalite minerals are potentially useful for dating the emplacement age of economically important rare-element pegmatites. Romer and Wright have shown that columbite-tantalite may accommodate considerable amounts of uranium (circa 500–1000 ppm) and exclude lead almost completely.The U-Pb systematics, …
Abstract. The Zashikhinsky massif is unique tantalum-niobium deposit of alkaline-granite type hosted by the Late Paleozoic rare-metal zone of magmatism in the East Sayan Mountains. Columbite is the mineral concentrating Nb, Ta and Y-group elements. It forms both large (2–5 mm) and small (smaller 0.5 mm) black grains, in …
In addition, the solubilities of columbite and tantalite increase with increasing temperature and Li content of the melt (Fiege et al., 2011). This trend culminates with late crystallization of tantalite and usually involves decreasing temperature, Li and F contents, leading to the deposition of Li- and F-bearing minerals (spodumene and ...
The columbite-tantalite group minerals [(Fe,Mn)(Nb,Ta) 2 O 6 ] are critical ore minerals of niobium and tantalum in rare metal pegmatite deposit.
Compositionally, columbite-tantalite of the Li-albite granites is constrained between MnNb 2 O 6 and MnTa 2 O 6 (the Ta/(Nb+Ta) atom. ratio ranges between 0.10 and 0.80). This …
COLTAN (Columbite-Tantalite) is a dull metallic ore found in major quantities in the eastern areas of Congo. When refined, COLTAN becomes metallic Tantalum, a heat-resistant powder that can hold a high electrical charge. Columbite ((Fe, Mn, Mg)(Nb, Ta) 2 O 6: Iron Manganese Magnesium Niobium Tantalum Oxide) is the …
The ultrastructure of the columbite-tantalite mineral suggested the columbite-group mineral in the Zhaojinggou Nb-Ta deposit formed during magmatic crystallization rather than from hydrothermal ...
The generic term columbotantalite, cbt, comprises the different compositional varieties of columbite and tantalite, classically treated (e.g. Ramdohr 1980) as an isomorphic, continuous solid solution series between the members (Fe, Mn)Nb 2 O 6 (niobite, now columbite, cb) and (Fe, Mn)Ta 2 O 6 (tantalite, tan), a series also known …
Coltan 139 and these three columbite-tantalite samples with variable compositions yielded internally consistent LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages when using each other for calibration and the weighted mean 206 Pb/ 238 U ages are comparable to respective ID-TIMS ages. Composition-dependent U-Pb fractionation seems to be insignificant under …
