The African Tantalite Mining Industry

Chemically, tantalite is similar to columbite, and the two minerals are often grouped together in mineral guides. However, the specific gravity of tantalite is significantly higher than that of columbite. Tantalite is challenging to process and is therefore not extensively mined despite the rising demand for it as it.

Effects of columbite/tantalite (COLTAN) mining activities ...

The mining of columbite/tantalite (COLTAN) has a negative effect on the different spheres of the environment notably; hydrosphere, lithosphere, and the atmosphere (Eisler 2004). Just like gold mining, COLTAN extraction involves the breaking of crystallographic bond in the mineral ore to get the products in the pure form.
