With an expertise and familiarity in exploring the new areas of natural resources and mineral mining, the name of Rachana Global Excavation Ltd. can be best associated with different tantalum mining termnology. Rachana Global is been one of the oldest player in tantalum exploration and mining.
Tantalum: A very hard, heavy, gray metallic element with atomic number 73 and extremely high melting point. It is exceptionally resistant to chemical attack and mainly used to make light-bulb filaments, electrolytic capacitors, lightning arresters, nuclear reactor parts, and some surgical instruments.
Tantalum Alloys: The combination or mixture of two or more metals where tantalum is the base metal is known as tantalum alloy.
Tantalum exploration: The process of searching, proving and establishing the extent of tantalum deposits in the ground is called Tantalum exploration.
Tantalum Mining: The science, technique, and business of tantalum mineral discovery and exploitation is known as Tantalum mining.
Tantalum Extraction: The process of mining and removal of tantalum ore from a tantalum mine is known as tantalum extraction.
Coltan: A dull black metallic ore from which the elements tantalum and niobium are extracted is known as Coltan. Tantalum extracted from coltan is used to manufacture electronic capacitors and consumer electronics products. It is an industrial name for columbitetantalite.
Tantalum Ore Processing: Treatment of tantalum ore by various methods of crushing, grinding and screening to extract valuable tantalum prior to the shipment to refinery is known as tantalum ore processing.
Tantalite: A mineral consisting of tantalum oxide of iron and manganese that occurs with niobite or coarse granite is known as Tantalite. It is a dark-brown mineral that is generally an ore of tantalum and niobium.
Tantalite Resources: The identified mineral deposits of tantalite that can be economically mined at the time of determination for the extraction of tantalum ore are called Tantalite resources.
Tantalum mineral concentrates: The valuable tantalum minerals separated from the waste materials found in the tantalum ores by the method of concentration are generally known as tantalum mineral concentrates.
Beneficiation of Tantalum Ore: The method of processing tantalum ores to remove the unwanted constituents and improve the quality, purity, or assay grade of a desired product is known as tantalum ore beneficiation.
Tantulum Refining: The mechanical process of separating the metallurgical grade tantalum from various tantalum containing mineral concentrates by using different refining activities is known as refining of Tantulum.
