The increased demand of metals such as tantalum (Ta) and niobium (Nb) reflect the on-going development in modern science, engineering and technology. The extraction of these two metals from columbite-tantalite ore is based on generic extractive metallurgy. However, the upstream purification of ore and downstream extraction of Ta …
