Mineralogy and chemistry of columbite-tantalite from …
The patchy zoning is the most common texture of CGM in the Bugarura-Kuluti. It is often produced when columbite-tantalite is subjected to an alteration by later fluids (Tindle and Breaks, 2000). Usually, an early columbite generation is replaced (or partially replaced) by a later columbite-tantalite generation richer in Ta (Fig. 8 a–c).
What are conflict minerals?
Investor Network. GDPR Compliance. "Conflict minerals," as defined by the US legislation, currently include the metals tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, which are the extracts of the minerals cassiterite, columbite-tantalite and wolframite, respectively. Downstream companies often refer to the extracts of these minerals as 3TG.

The columbite-tantalite commonly exhibits a mottled or patchy zoned texture with the rims consistently higher in Ta than the cores, reflecting the later effect of a corrosive supercritical vapour phase. The columbites of metasomatized granites range in composition between FeNb 2 O 6 and MnNb 2 O 6.

Moreover, spot no. 17 on a Type 2 CGMs belongs to tantalite (Mn) rather than columbite (Mn) according its Ta# value. Type 2 CGM no. 17 experienced a different petrogenetic path than the Type 1 CGMs, but one dataset has no apparent statistical significance, and the age of 211.0 ± 4.7 Ma for grain no. 17 (Type 2 CGM) hardly …

Metallographic and in situ compositional study on columbite–tantalite
Columbite–tantalite and ixiolite–wodginite minerals show different types of zoning. We observed two of the three simple types described by Lahti : oscillatory and patchy zoning. We further distinguished more complex textures such as rhythmic (biphasic) regular oscillatory zoning and irregular mosaic-like intergrowths. ...

Dissolution of Pyrochlore and Microlite in Alkaline
It was shown that the Nb/Ta ratio in a melt upon microlite dissolution varied differently than that upon dissolution of columbite and tantalite . Thus, the increase in the coefficient of A/NKC from 1.1 to 1.4 resulted in just a doubled Nb/Ta ratio in the melt unlike the considerable decrease upon dissolution of columbite and tantalite.
The mineral chemistry of gahnite, garnet and columbite …
The Fe/Mn ratio both in garnet and columbite-tantalite decreases from the wall to the core zone of the pegmatite. The positive correlation between SiO 2 and MnO and the high MnO/(FeO t +MgO) ratios in garnet suggest crystallization of the granite-pegmatite from highly evolved MnO-rich melt. A systematic fractionation trend is also recognized ...
Columbite-group minerals and mica of peraluminous
In addition, the patchy tantalite contains much higher Ta concentrations than the euhedral columbite (Fig. 10 a), and there is a compositional gap between the two. This suggests that the tantalite patches/rims were formed by replacement of columbite by a hydrosilicate melt in the magmatic-hydrothermal transitional stage ( Wu et al., 2018 ).
In situ U–Pb isotopic dating of columbite–tantalite by …
Abstract. Columbite–tantalite (Coltan) is the most important niobium (Nb)- and tantalum (Ta)-bearing economic mineral, commonly occurring in rare metal granite and pegmatite, alkaline granite, syenite and carbonatite. Its high U but low common Pb contents make it an ideal mineral for U–Pb isotopic dating of Nb–Ta mineralization.

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 ...
2018 Minerals Yearbook
tantalite ore prices had remained at $193 per kilogram of contained Ta 2 O 5 since november 2014. The increases in price in 2018 were thought to have resulted from a combination of increased demand from downstream consumers, increased royalties on exports of columbite-tantalite ore signed into law by the Government of Congo …
Tantalite
The mineral group tantalite is the primary source of the chemical element tantalum, a corrosion resistant metal. It is chemically similar to columbite, and the two are often grouped together as a semi-singular mineral called coltan or "columbite-tantalite" in many mineral guides. However, tantalite has a much greater specific gravity than columbite .

Columbite-tantalite with high tenor of tantalum is mainly derived from pegmatit ic source. Large, low- grade deposits of pyrochlore, probably t he chief source of niobium, occur in.
A mixed collector system for columbite-tantalite flotation
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 …
Identity Help : difference between columbite and tantalite
Columbite and tantalite (sometimes contracted to 'coltan') are now a family of 6 minerals. As already mentioned by other Mindatians, there is a place in the structure that can contain tantalium (Ta) and Niobium (Nb). It depends on which element is dominant to give the right name: more than 50% Ta is tantalite, more than 50% Nb is columbite.
COMPLEX INTERNAL TEXTURES IN OXIDE MINERALS FROM …
Columbite-group minerals commonly exhibit zoning, but complex and multiple-generation phenomena are notable in columbite–tantalite crystals from zones IV–V. In the latter case, later generations of columbite–tantalite overgrow or cross-cut the earlier ones. Irregular patterns of zoning are linked to the activity of hydrothermal fluids at ...

Columbite-tantalite group minerals (CGMs) are an important source for strategic elements, Nb and Ta, in highly evolved granites and granitic pegmatites [6,7]. These minerals share a general chemical formula AB 2 O 6, in which A is occupied by divalent cations including Fe 2+, Mn 2+, and rarely Mg 2+ and B, by Nb 5+ and Ta 5+ …
Tantalite
Garnet, micas, tourmaline, and columbite–tantalite all contain Fe–Mn solid solutions and the FeO + MnO content of peraluminous melts are probably much greater than 500 ppm. Nevertheless, near end-member spessartine and tantalite-(Mn) do occur in nature, so the addition of Fe does not resolve this problem.

Metasomatic units (accounting for less than 5% of the bodies) are characterized by a lower Nb/Ta in the whole rock and a higher Mn/Fe in the columbite-tantalite than in corresponding aplitic parts. Such rocks may be strongly enriched in Zr, Hf, and Th, suggesting a significant mobility of these elements at the metasomatic stage.

U-Pb isotopic dating of columbite-tantalite minerals: Development of
Columbite-tantalite minerals commonly have a broad range of U contents that may reach several thousand ppm and may substitute for Fe and Mn into the crystal lattice, but for high U contents may form phases of its own (e.g., uraninite; cf.

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 …
The geochronology of the rare metal pegmatite deposits
The columbite-tantalite group minerals [(Fe,Mn)(Nb,Ta) 2 O 6] are critical ore minerals of niobium and tantalum in rare metal pegmatite deposit. These minerals can be used for U–Pb dating because of high U and low Pb contents ( Romer and Smeds, 1994, Romer and Smeds, 1996, Romer and Smeds, 1997 Legros et al., 2019 ).
Mineralogical and physical studies of low-grade
The main ingredient present was cassiterite in association with columbite-(Fe) and tantalite-(Fe) minerals. The ore-sample was classified as low-grade ore as it contained less than 0.1% Ta 2 O 5 and Nb 2 O 5, and non-radioactive as the percentage of radioactive oxides were below the critical value of 0.5%. Thus, it requires to under-go ...
