DetailsAbstract: A novel approach for Ta and Nb extraction consisting of the pre-treatment of a coltan-bearing ore with an ammonium bifluoride sub-molten salt and subsequent acid leaching has been studied. The effects from ore granulometry, ammonium bifluoride (ABF) to ore mass ratio, tem-
DetailsTantalum ore grades vary but are generally somewhere between 100 and 400ppm Ta 2 O 5. The process begins with blasting to free the ore, which is then crushed and the tantalum concentrated by gravity separation. Typically, the ore is concentrated to around 5% Ta 2 O 5 at or near the mine site.
DetailsAn alkaline roasting of a coltan bearing ore from the Numbi deposit (South Kivu, the DRC) was investigated with particular focus on the extraction kinetics of Ta and Nb. Isothermal roasting experiments were carried out to study the effects from KOH to ore mass ratio, particle size and roasting temperature on the degree of Ta and Nb recoveries.
