Selective recovery of niobium and tantalum from low-grade concentrates
Introduction. Niobium (Nb; Z = 41) and tantalum (Ta; Z = 73) are two group V elements which remain largely unknown to the general public even if their unequaled properties make them essential for many key sectors.For example, Nb is a strategic ingredient in the manufacture of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels [1]. The addition of …
