tantalum yield may vary between 40 and 85%. Slags with a high tantalum content of 8% Tap5 are digested in the same way as tantalum ore concentrates. Slags with a lower tantalum content are subjected to a preconcentration process since the costs of digestion are essentially determined by the through put quantity. For this purpose, the tin
