Tantalum
Tantalum is estimated to make up about 1 ppm or 2 ppm of the Earth's crust by weight. There are many species of tantalum minerals, only some of which are so far being used by industry as raw materials: tantalite (a series consisting of tantalite-(Fe), tantalite-(Mn) and tantalite-(Mg)), microlite (now a group name), wodginite, euxenite (actually euxenite-(Y)), and polycrase (actually polycrase-(YThe columbium discovered by Hatchett was probably a mixture of the new element with tantalum. Subsequently, there was considerable confusion Niobium

Niobium is a comparatively rare element, its content in the Earth’s crust averaging 0.001%. As a rule, it is accompanied by tantalum (Ta) in ores. Columbite Tantalum-niobium ore is the general name of the earth minerals containing Ta&Nb.There are more than 100 species. The ore that can be mined is mainly tantalite, niobium iron ore and pyrochlore.

The facility, located in east-central Oklahoma, was owned and operated by Fansteel Inc. (Fansteel), and from 1957–1989 produced tantalum and columbium metals from ores and tin slags (a byproduct of ore smelting). Tantalum metal is mainly used in the electrical/electronics industry for production of tantalum capacitors.A review is presented on the extraction of pure Nb and Ta from oxide ores by chemical and physical processes, determination of their crystalline, chemical, mechanical, thermal, electric, and magnetic properttes; and composition, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of alloys and steels containing Nb.

Rare Metals Background MIT
They are typically found together in the ore columbite-tantalite ("coltan"). Tantalum is primarily used in capacitors for microelectronics due to its high heat and electrical conductivity. Niobium can be used as an alternative to tantalum capacitors ("Niobium (Columbium) and Tantalum," 2009), but it is used primarily in alloys for superconducting Euxenite Metallurgy. Table of Contents. Results of this study demonstrate that multiple-oxide minerals can be processed to usable compounds by the techniques described in this paper.

A System Dynamics Model Assessment of the Supply of Niobium
The typical tantalum ore grade is in the range of 0.1–0.03% at the moment. The slag from cassiterite tin ore smelting contains up to 10–20% Ta 2 O 5, corresponding to 2.5–3% tantalum in the original ore. Tantalum has declined from ore grades of 1–0.4% in the period 1920–1930. In the 1980s, many mines were still in the The Group 5 and 6 elements are chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), dubnium (Db), vanadium (V), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta) and seaborgium (Sg).

At almost the same time, Charles Hatchett found something very similar in a Colombian ore columbium. The two elements were believed to be identical until 1844, when Heinrich Rose recognized that two different elements were present in the columbite ores, namely tantalum and columbium. He called the latter niobium.
