The mining of columbite/tantalite (COLTAN) has a negative effect on the different spheres of the environment notably; hydrosphere, lithosphere, and the atmosphere (Eisler 2004). Just like gold mining, COLTAN extraction involves the breaking of crystallographic bond in the mineral ore to get the products in the pure form.Web
Tantalite is a mineral that is rich in tantalum, while tantalum is a chemical element with the symbol Ta and atomic number 73. More specifically, tantalite is a black or brown mineral that is composed of iron, manganese, and tantalum oxide. It is commonly found in granite, pegmatites, and placer deposits. On the other hand, tantalum is a rare ...Web
