Extractive Metallurgy of Niobium presents a vivid account of the metal through its comprehensive discussions of properties and …
Extraction as a method for separating and purifying niobium and tantalum, metals with similar properties, is widely used in industry, where it has replaced the Marignac process, a less efficient ...
A novel Au/Nb-CeO2 was obtained by loading Au to Nb-modified CeO2 adopting a thermal decomposition method. The modification effect of Nb on the physicochemical properties and performance of Au/CeO2 for benzene combustion was systematically clarified. The incorporated Nb species are found to be present in the two …
The area also has niobium deposits estimated to be worth $35 billion. "This is by far the largest mineral deposit in Kenya and the find at Mrima Hill will make Kenya one of the largest rare earth producers in the world," said David Anderson, managing …

Tin slag a waste product of tin smelting contains many important metals such as niobium, tantalum, manganese, iron, aluminum, titanium, etc. Niobium metal which is one of the important metals found in tin slag has successfully been extracted using leaching and electrothermal method. The tin slag was crushed and ground to very fine particle sizes …
The effect of HF concentration on the extraction of niobium and tantalum is very complicated as the composition of their complexes is sensitive to the HF concentration. The extraction of niobium and tantalum with 1.28 M HF and 12.8 M HF under various H 2 SO 4 concentrations were reported by Nishimura et al. (1964a) as shown in Fig. 6.
