Due to their relatively high Hf contents (i.e., several hundreds to thousands of ppm), columbite-group minerals (CGMs) are suitable for Lu–Hf isotope analysis, which can provide new insights into the source of such minerals in combination with the U–Pb age of rare-metal deposits.However, few studies have reported Lu–Hf isotope data for CGMs. Tantalum is a …

columbite, hard, black (often iridescent), heavy oxide mineral of iron, manganese, and niobium, (Fe, Mn)Nb2O6. Tantalum atoms replace niobium atoms in the crystal structure to form the mineral tantalite, which is similar but much more dense. These minerals are the most abundant and widespread of the naturally occurring niobates and tantalates and are important ores, their …

Columbite Group. Name: Named in 1801 by Charles Hatchett (1765-1847) from a specimen collected in the mid-17th century in a place called Nautneague (now regarded as Haddam, Connecticut, USA). The specimen was from the mineral collection of John Winthrop (1606–1676), governor of Connecticut and was given to Hans Sloane by John Winthrop (1681 ...

Columbite was long used as a species name but is now split between the iron end-member columbite-(Fe) and the manganese end-member columbite-(Mn) and consequently is the name of an isomorphous series (see Columbite-(Fe)-Columbite-(Mn) Series). The name columbite usually refers to (the more common) columbite-(Fe), formerly known as ferrocolumbite.

Columbite from peralkaline complexes plot along the FeNb 2 O 6 –MnNb 2 O 6 join of the quadrilateral and have Mn/(Mn+Fe) ratios of ≤ 0.65 and Ta/(Ta+Nb) ratios of ≤ 0.15. Fe-Nb-rich varieties within this zone slightly overlap with those from carbonatites. Columbite-tantalite series minerals from Li-Cs-Ta (LCT) pegmatites and peraluminous ...

Tantalite is the tantalum-rich member, and Columbite is the niobium-rich member. Tantalite is named after its tantalum content, and, together with Columbite, are the most important minerals containing the rare element tantalum. The name Tantalite has been discredited by the IMA, with the more specific designations of Tantalite- (Fe) (also known ...

Columbite forms a series with the mineral tantalite. In fact the two are often grouped together as a semi-singular mineral called columbite-tantalite in many mineral guides. A series is where two or more elements can occupy the same …

Formerly called ferrocolumbite, Columbite-Fe is named for the iron (Fe) content and for the niobium content which was formerly called columbium, named in reference to the poetical name for the United States, Columbia, as the …

Columbite is the niobium-rich member, and Tantalite is the tantalum-rich member. Columbite is named after its niobium content, which was previous known as columbium prior to its renaming. Columbite is the most important mineral containing the rare element niobium and is its main ore. The name Columbite has been discredited by the IMA, with the ...

Zaraisky et al. (2010) determined the solubility of Ta 2 O 5 and Ta-bearing columbite in F− -, Cl − -, HCO 3− -, and CO 32 − -bearing solutions at 300–550 °C. The presence of F − increased the solubility of both phases by several orders of magnitude, indicating formation of F- or OH–F-bearing aqueous complexes.

Tantalum is a rare metal (Dec 2007: 77 US$/kg tantalite, 30% Ta 2 O 5) whose strength, chemistry and electronic properties make it valuable in many high-technology and medical applications. The ...

The North China Craton, which lies between the Central Asia Orogenic Belt to the north and the Yangtze Craton to the south (), is composed of an Archean to Paleoproterozoic metamorphic basement overlain by a Mesoproterozoic to Permian platform cover (e.g., Zhai and Santosh, 2011).Its final amalgamation occurred at ca.1.85 Ga (Zhao et al., 2001; Zhao et al., …

Columbite - a group of minerals with a black, brown-black color, usually containing elements of iron, manganese or magnesium. The mineral occurs only in certain places on Earth. It is very difficult to find well-formed crystals. Columnites are an important raw material for obtaining niobium and tantalum. Is a collector's mineral. Columbite ...

Columbite-(Fe) is a post-magmatic accessory mineral occurring within syenogranites and greisens from the Desemborque Pluton. The petrographic (SEM) and geochemical (EPMA and LA-ICPMS) examination of this mineral shows two distinct textural types within both the rocks, named columbite-1 and columbite-2. The columbite-1 type is characterized by zoned crystals …

Columbite-tantalite minerals commonly have a broad range of U contents that may reach several thousand ppm and may substitute for Fe and Mn into the crystal lattice, but for high U contents may form phases of its own (e.g., uraninite; cf. Romer et al., 1996). Furthermore, columbite-tantalite minerals typically have very low common Pb contents ...

The crust formation and growth of the NQ terrane occurred during the early Neoproterozoic when the NQ terrane was part of the northern margin of the SCB (Liu et al., 2013b, Wu and Zheng, 2013).It is thought to be rifted from the SCB during the middle Neoproterozoic Rodinian breakup (ca. 810 Ma, Chen et al., 2006).The Neoproterozoic …
