Pulsating water jets separate the diamonds from the slurry. Smaller-sized material, together with water-soluble flotation agents, goes into a froth flotation cell where small-size diamonds stick to froth bubbles and are carried to the final concentration stage. On the other hand, large-size material is processed by X-ray fluorescent separation.Web

Tantalum occurs in tantalite, columbite, and coltan, which is a mix of columbite and tantalite, and it is always found in conjunction with niobium, a chemically similar element. It was originally discovered in two different mineral samples by a Swedish chemist named Anders Ekeberg in 1802 but was thought to be the same element as …Web

Kyanite and sillimanite are two polymorphic minerals with the same formula of Al2SiO5, but different crystal structures. Despite their high economic values, selectively recovering them by flotation is a challenge. In this study, the flotation behaviors of the two minerals with sodium oleate as the collector were examined at different pH conditions. …Web

columbite-tantalite (coltan). Hence, it is safe to say that columbite and tantalite minerals have similar mineralogy in similar mineral ore deposits and thus, are variations of each other [7,11,18,23–30]. The mineral tantalite has an average density of 8.0 g/cm3 and is usually denser, in comparison to columbite's average density ofWeb

Within the (Fe,Mn) site, the substitution of Sc for Fe is more prevalent. In most pegmatites, Sc fractionation in columbite-tantalite, stannian ixiolite, titanian ixiolite and wolframian ixiolite is erratic, unlike scandian ixiolite, which shows strong enrichment in Sc with increasing Mn, Ta and Sn.Web
