Handbook of Flotation Reagents: Chemistry, Theory and Practice

This chapter discusses flotation and beneficiation of tantalum/niobium ores. There is very little information or literature on flotation properties of tantalum minerals. Also, there are only a few operating plants that treat tantalum ore by flotation. Most of the commercial plants use a gravity beneficiation method.
