Tantalite is the tantalum-rich member, and Columbite is the niobium-rich member. Tantalite is named after its tantalum content, and, together with Columbite, are the most important minerals containing the rare element tantalum. The name Tantalite has been discredited by the IMA, with the more specific designations of Tantalite- (Fe) (also known ...

5.5 x 2.1 x 0.9 cm. Columbite-Tantalite is a combination term that is used generically for the specimens in the columbite/tantalite families. Under normal circumstances, they are very difficult to tell apart. This sharp, …
Therefore, a systematic study of texture, major-element composition, and U-Pb dating of columbite-tantalite group minerals (CGMs) in the spodumene pegmatite dyke from the CKBS deposit was undertaken. Three types of CGMs were identified, including concentric oscillatory ferrocolumbite (CGMs-1), homogeneous ferrocolumbite (CGMs-2), …
Columbite - tantalite is an important accessory mineral in the Harding granitic pegmatite, a subhorizontal, zoned, complex spodumene-type pegmatite emplaced within the Proterozoic Vadito Group in northern New Mexico. Columbite - tantalite is most abundant in the beryl (wall) zones of the pegmatite, with lesser quantities in the interior units.

Compositionally, columbite-tantalite of the Li-albite granites is constrained between MnNb 2 O 6 and MnTa 2 O 6 (the Ta/(Nb+Ta) atom. ratio ranges between 0.10 and 0.80). This low to high ratio and the association of columbite-tantalite with topaz, fluorite and lithian micas (in the series zinnwaldite-white mica) indicate a higher solubility ...
Columbite-tantalite recovery was the highest at 3:1 BHA–SIBX among the tested collector suites. Using the 3:1 mixed BHA–SIBX collector yielded a more negative columbite-tantalite in comparison to that measured with BHA alone. This indicated the improved adsorption of the BHA–SIBX mixture on the columbite-tantalite surface and …

The effect of fluorine on the solubilities of Mn-columbite (MnNb 2 O 6), Mn-tantalite (MnTa 2 O 6), zircon (ZrSiO 4) and hafnon (HfSiO 4) were determined in highly fluxed, water-saturated haplogranitic melts at 800 to 1000 °C and 2 kbar. The melt composition corresponds to the intersection of the granite minimum with the …
In this study, the columbite-tantalite group minerals (CGMs) from a typical Li-rich pegmatite dike were analyzed for major element contents using an EMPA (electron microprobe analyzer), for trace element contents using LA-ICP-MS (laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), and for ages using LA-ICP-MS U-Pb …
Crystallisation, muscovitisation and kaolinisation accompanied the precipitation of prompted cassiterite and columbite-tantalite in the pegmatites of the study area. The studied pegmatites suggest a sodium-dominant pegmatitic melt where micas and albites are dominant over potassium minerals. The mapped pegmatites from t.
Columbite-tantalite can accommodate considerable amounts of uranium and excludes lead almost completely. It is thus potentially suited for U-Pb dating. Discordias generally yield closely constrained upper intercept ages. Yet, in a few cases, the U-Pb system of columbite-tantalite gives poorly constrained ages due to excess scatter or inverse ...
Columbite. Alkali fusion contains breakdown of columbite-tantalite by fusion of alkali and ore at melting point of alkali followed by leaching with diluted alkaline solutions or water. From: Minerals Engineering, 2022. View all Topics. Add to Mendeley. About this page.
Coltan 139 and these three columbite-tantalite samples with variable compositions yielded internally consistent LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages when using each other for calibration and the weighted mean 206 Pb/ 238 U ages are comparable to respective ID-TIMS ages. Composition-dependent U-Pb fractionation seems to be insignificant under …
It is chemically similar to Columbite, so you may also see it called columbite-tantalite in some places. It is also known by two other names depending on the exact makeup of the stones. The more common one is the manganese rich type which is called manganotantalite or less commonly, the iron rich variety called ferrotantalite.
Columbite-tantalite refers to a group of minerals having varying amounts of iron, manganese, niobium, and tantalum. They are found as platey black grains in complex granitic pegmatites. Columbite- (Fe) in platey crystals …
CGM varies appreciably in composition in the columbite–tantalite quadrilateral diagram (Fig. 10 a), with first subparallel to the Mn# = Mn/(Mn + Fe) axis and then to the Ta# axis, which is commonly encountered in complex lepidolite subtype of REL (rare-element)-Li pegmatite group worldwide (Cerny et al., 2012, Wise et al., 2012).
Columbite-(Fe) is a post-magmatic accessory mineral occurring within syenogranites and greisens from the Desemborque Pluton. The petrographic (SEM) and geochemical (EPMA and LA-ICPMS) examination of this mineral shows two distinct textural types within both the rocks, named columbite-1 and columbite-2. The columbite-1 …

The mining of columbite/tantalite (COLTAN) has a negative effect on the different spheres of the environment notably; hydrosphere, lithosphere, and the atmosphere (Eisler 2004). Just like gold mining, COLTAN extraction involves the breaking of crystallographic bond in the mineral ore to get the products in the pure form.

The generic term columbotantalite, cbt, comprises the different compositional varieties of columbite and tantalite, classically treated (e.g. Ramdohr 1980) as an isomorphic, continuous solid solution series between the members (Fe, Mn)Nb 2 O 6 (niobite, now columbite, cb) and (Fe, Mn)Ta 2 O 6 (tantalite, tan), a series also known …
Size reduction with gravity and magnetic separation followed by dissolution of raw columbite-tantalite are common in industrial practices for increasing the …
In addition, the solubilities of columbite and tantalite increase with increasing temperature and Li content of the melt (Fiege et al., 2011). This trend culminates with late crystallization of tantalite and usually involves decreasing temperature, Li and F contents, leading to the deposition of Li- and F-bearing minerals (spodumene and ...
