A review on extractive metallurgy of tantalum and niobium
Pyrometallurgical processing is commonly used to convert Nb from pyrochlore into ferroniobium alloy through aluminothermic or carbothermic reduction. The hydrometallurgical methods are commonly employed to recover both Ta and Nb from colombo-tantalite (Ungerer et al., 2014). The approach consists of several sequential …
