Columbite
Zaraisky et al. (2010) determined the solubility of Ta 2 O 5 and Ta-bearing columbite in F− -, Cl − -, HCO 3− -, and CO 32 − -bearing solutions at 300–550 °C. The presence of F − increased the solubility of both phases by several orders of magnitude, indicating formation of F- or OH–F-bearing aqueous complexes.
