Selective Leaching and Electrochemical
As the supply of tantalum that is economical to extract dwindles, it becomes important to develop a recycling technology for its recovery from tantalum capacitors. Our process uses pyrolysis, sequential leaching and electrochemical purification before the precipitation of a tantalum salt that feeds into the current tantalum production feedstock.

The use of tantalum in the process industry | JOM
Tantalum is one of the refractory metals, so named because of their excellent high-temperature properties. These metals, especially tantalum, have remarkable corrosion-resisting properties due to an inherent, self-healing oxide layer that protects the tantalum against the most hostile environments (except those containing fluorine or fluorides). In this article, the production, …

Efficient Recovery of Niobium and Tantalum from Ferrocolumbium Tantalum
Abstract A stable and continuous leaching process for niobium and tantalum extraction from ferrocolumbium tantalum (FT) was developed. The effects of initial concentration of HF and H2SO4, grinding fineness, leaching time, and temperature on the leaching rate of Ta, Nb, Fe, and Si were studied. Experimental results show that the leaching rates of Ta, Nb, Fe, …

Tantalum
Tantalum is a relatively rare element, and commercial quantities are found in Australia, Brazil, Canada, and Africa. Tantalum is also present in tin-bearing ores and remains in the slag from tin refinement. Tin processing is, in fact, the primary source of commercial tantalum, since the processing of other sources are much more costly.
