摘要： A method for liquefying niobium and tantalum and a method for producing a niobium solution and a tantalum solution, which can liquefy niobium and tantalum or produce a niobium solution and a tantalum solution safely and efficiently from a smelting raw material containing niobium and tantalum. Ammonium hydrogen sulfate is mixed as a reaction agent into a powdered substance containing at least one element of niobium or tantalum, and the mixture is melted under predetermined conditions to form a molten substance. A suspension formed by dissolving the molten substance having been solidified in an aqueous solution is subjected to solid-liquid separation to recover a precipitate. The precipitate is composed of niobium and/or tantalum with few impurities, and the precipitate is dissolved in one type of acid solution selected from hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or nitric acid, whereby 90% or more of niobium and/or tantalum can be leached out.

摘要： A method for enriching niobium and titanium in a mineral containing iron, niobium, and titanium, includes: reacting raw materials comprising 1 part by weight of a mineral containing iron, niobium, and titanium, 0.1-0.8 part by weight of a nickel-containing substance and 0.2-1 part by weight of carbon at 800-1500° C. to obtain a nickel-iron alloy and a niobium-titanium rich slag, where an amount of the mineral containing iron, niobium, and titanium is counted in terms of iron element, and an amount of the nickel-containing substance is counted in terms of nickel element. The nickel-containing substance is one or more selected from the group consisting of oxides of nickel and nickel minerals.

摘要： A method and an equipment for comprehensive utilization of niobite is disclosed. The method includes the following steps: S1. adding and uniformly mixing a coal-based reducing agent to the niobite, and subsequently reducing the mixture in a reduction furnace to obtain the selective reduction product; S2. adding the selective reduction product to a super-gravity reactor where the ambient temperature is controlled to be lower than the temperature at which the niobium oxide is reduced; driven by super-gravity, reverse migrating and collecting the metal iron and the niobium-rich slag at different locations in the reactor; discharging the metallic iron tightly attached to the wall of the reactor through an iron discharging port, and discharging the niobium-rich slag enriched to the inner layer of the reactor through a slag discharging port, so that the separation of the metallic iron and the niobium-rich slag is realized in the super-gravity field.

摘要： Refined niobium-based ferroalloys are provided by removing lead and other impurities therefrom by a process comprising charging niobium ore concentrate and/or niobium oxide or a mixture of niobium oxides to a metallothermic reaction chamber, admixing the ore concentrate and/or niobium oxide with a reducing agent, initiating a metallothermic reaction, under reduced pressure; and allowing the reaction product to solidify and cool; crushing the reaction product or crushing the niobium-based ferroalloy previously reduced in open air, and charging the crushed product to a melting crucible within a vacuum induction melting furnace, lowering the pressure within the furnace to below 1 mbar, and melting the crushed product while vaporizing the impurities contained therein.
