VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG VON TANTAL-KONZENTRATEN

摘要

In a process for producing tantalum concentrates from ores containing tantalum oxides, tantalic acid or its salts together with rutile type titanium dioxide in mixed crystals, the ores are treated in a sulfuric acid of a concentration not lower than 50% by weight with heating at a temperature from 200 DEG C. to the boiling point of said sulfuric acid, and then the above-treated products are treated with a reducing agent in an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid of a concentration lower than 50% by weight to dissolve the titanium component to thereby obtain tantalum concentrates as solid products.
