Uses. One of the main uses of tantalum is in the production of electronic components. An oxide layer which forms on the surface of tantalum can act as an insulating (dielectric) layer. Because tantalum can be used to coat other metals with a very thin layer, a high capacitance can be achieved in a small volume.

COMPANIES In 2023, leading companies such as were at the forefront of shipping Niobium, Tantalum, Vanadium and Zirconium Ore from India to the United States.
The tantalum ore grade is low in China, the average content of Ta 2 O 5 only varies from 0.008 to 0.016% . Therefore, in the future, China still has increasing demand in importing tantalum concentrate with much higher tantalum content from other countries, for fulfilling the demand for both domestic consumption and global electronics …
Identified Resources. Economic Demonstrated Resources of tantalum were 88.8 kt at 31 December 2018, up from 75.7 kt in 2016 (Table 2) 10.Since 2010, EDR has shown a steady increase (apart from a temporary drop in 2017), reflecting the high level of exploration activity and exploration success over that period for lithium, for which …
The outstanding properties of tantalum make it a valuable metal and, in some cases, irreplaceable and essential to sectors such as the aerospace, gas and oil, nuclear and electronic industries [1]. Due to the high economic importance, medium supply risk, and poor availability of substitution materials, the growing interest places tantalum …

Tantalum oxide is the main material used for production of tantalum carbide and tantalum metal. In Russia, cerium-bearing mineral is processed by the chlorination process. The tantalum in ore is chlorinated, vaporized, and condensed to generate tantalic chloride. Then after hydrolysis, washing, filtration, and roasting, tantalum oxide is obtained.
