Coltan (short for columbite–tantalites and known industrially as tantalite) is a dull black metallic ore from which the elements niobium and tantalumare are extracted. The niobium-dominant mineral in coltan is columbite (after niobium's original American name, columbium), and the tantalum-dominant mineral is tantalite.. Columbite has the same composition and crystal …

The procedure was repeated through a roll setting of 1.6 mm and a 1.67-mm screen. The combined coarse mica from the three screens comprised 41% of the feed weight and contained 4.9% of the tantalum and 7.9% of the niobium. This lost tantalum and niobium was considered part of the mica lattice rather than unliberated material.

The extraction of niobium from other mineral concentrates and tin slags uses the same technology as that of tantalum, that is, digestion with hydrofluoric acid followed by liquid-liquid extraction with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) Niobium oxide is precipitated from the niobium stream by ammonia and then purified and calcined.

The element Niobium has had an intriguing story, one that continues to this day. In 1734, the first governor of Connecticut, John Winthrop, found a new mineral and named in columbite. He then sent it to a museum in Britain. This new mineral rested in the British museum until 1801 when English Chemist Charles Hatchett decided to analyze columbite.
