Columbite has the same composition and crystal symmetry orthorombic as tantalite In fact the two are often grouped together as a semi singular mineral series called columbite tantalite or coltan in many mineral guides However tantalite has a much greater specific gravity than columbite more than compared to columbite s [3]
Three points in columbite tantalite two in ixiolite wodginite and three in microlite were analysed using a Hyperprobe Jeol 8500F electron microprobe equipped with one energy dispersive EDS and five wave length dispersive WDS spectrometers operating at 15 kV accelerating voltage and 20 nA beam current at the National Laboratory of
6 La columbite tantalite detta anche coltan [1] è una miscela complessa di columbite Fe Mn Nb 2 O 6 e tantalite Fe Mn Ta 2 O 6 due minerali della classe degli ossidi che si trovano molto raramente come termini puri Il coltan è usato colloquialmente in Africa per riferirsi ad una columbite tantalite a relativamente alto tenore di tantalio

The tantalite columbite lithium and cassiterite that TanCo Minerals sources are all essential minerals in the production of a range of electronic devices including smartphones laptops and other gadgets Unfortunately the mining of these minerals has often been associated with human rights abuses including forced labor and child labor
Rare metal pegmatites containing economic concentrations of Columbite tantalite ore minerals Coltan are widespread in Africa In 2006 Australia Brazil and Canada produced 80% of the world s coltan but as mining trends and costs change so too does the industry s centers As of 2012 coltan s main producers are Australia Brazil
Tantalite is purchased and sold solely on its Ta2O5 content Nb2O5 content is not figured into the payable value for tantalite If the material contains a minimum amount of 50% Nb2O5 with a small percentage of Ta2O5 it would be traded as columbite Columbite is purchased and sold on the Nb2O5 Ta2O5 content known as Combined Pentoxide CPO
