SOLUBILITY AND ACIDITY PROPERTIES OF TANTALUM AND …

It is shown that the isoelectric region of tantalum is at pH 9 to 2 and niobium at pH 7 to 0. The isoelectric region of tantalum solubility is 8.0 x 10/sup -6/ mole/l. and niobium 1.4 x 10/sup -5 mole/l. Effects of H/sup +/ and OH/sup -/ concentration on solubility of Ta and Nb acids were evaluated.

A Review of Niobium-Tantalum Separation in Hydrometallurgy

Figure 2 below shows the extraction of tantalum and niobium versus H2SO4 concentration. It is evident from the graph that the optimal H 2 SO 4 concentration for tantalum extraction is about 2.5-3.5M while niobium begins to move into the organic phase at an H 2 SO 4 concentration of 4-

Geochemistry of Niobium and Tantalum - USGS

The separation of niobium from tantalum and the concentration of tantalum are attributed to changes in alkalinity-acidity of the crystallizing medium and to the com- plexing of these elements with fluorine, tantalum-fluorine com­ plexes being more mobile and stable than niobium-fluorine ...
