7. Energy
An assessment of the energy content for the production of Ta/Nb integrates all the stages of their production
mining ;
concentration (grinding, magnetic and gravimetric sorting, flotation);
chemistry (etching and separation) ;
reduction (aluminothermic or sodiothermic) ;
refining (electron bombardment furnace).
Energy content calculations are based on pyrochlore for ferroniobium, and niobium and tantalum metal from ore, excluding pyrochlore (table 7...
