| Abstract: |
| Based on process mineralogy study, the grade of Nb2O5 and Ta2O5 is 0.065% and 0.0034% respectively in sichuan niobium-tantalum ore. Niobium mainly occurs in pyrochlore, followed by fergusonite, a few exists in manganocolumbite, fersmite, loparite and so on; tantalum mainly occurs in niobium-containing minerals such as pyrochlore. The disseminated size of pyrochlore is mainly fine-grained, and the percentage of -0.074mm is 77.43%. Results show that the ore belongs to low-grade refractory ore, with low grade, variety of occurrence state and fine grain. |
