Well-classified metal scrap can be reused directly in the fabrication plant after short chemical treatment

Lithium and most lithium minerals are mined along with other high-value metallic minerals such as tin, niobium-tantalum (columbite-tantalite) and uranium (in pyrochlore).

In practice, maintaining the pulp pH value between 10.0 and 11.0 is crucial. The cyanide leaching rate of gold ore decreases if the pH value exceeds 12 due to excessive alkalinity or falls below 9 due to insufficient alkalinity.

The maximum columbite solubility was ~ 10 − 2 m Ta and Nb in 1 m HF solutions at 300 °C. Chloride, carbonate, and bicarbonate had negligible effect on columbite solubility, but the stoichiometry of the complexes was not determined and …
