This book presents current research in the study of niobium including the role of niobium species in heterogeneous catalysis; the geochemistry of Nb and variations of Nb/Ta ration in geological systems; niobium distribution pattern in rare-metal-bearing Palaeoproterozoic co-genetic Felsic rocks and minerals; niobium oxalate complexes and the electrodeposition of niobium from molten salts.
The Chemistry of Vanadium, Niobium and Tantalum gives a comprehensive discussion on the discovery, origin, and metallurgical aspects of vanadium, niobium, and tantalum. A section is also focused on the nuclear properties, as well as the physical and chemical properties of each compound. The history and distribution of vanadium, niobium, and tantalum are explored, along with the purification and extraction procedures of the said elements. The book also explores the derivative compounds such as the alloys, hydride, halides, and oxides. Another section of the book is focused on the physical and chemical modifications of the elements that generate such by-products as the cyanides, hydroxides, and sulfides. Different complexes of the elements such as halogeno- and oxyhalogeno-complexes are discussed in detail. The organometallic chemistry of niobium, tantalum, and vanadium are also identified. The book will be a useful tool for chemical engineers, chemical scientists, and students in the field of chemistry.
During recent years increased interest has been shown in the metal niobium. The Atomic Energy Commission has encouraged research on new methods of winning the metal from its ores with the ultimate hope of finding a process which would yield niobium metal at a reasonable price. This report was written to consolidate the more important information available in the literature on the separation of niobium and tantalum.
Analytical Chemistry of Niobium and Tantalum details the methods in understanding the chemistry of niobium and tantalum, which includes separation, identification, and quantification. The text first discusses the general topics about niobium and tantalum, such as history, metallurgical properties, and applications. Next, the selection covers the properties of niobium and tantalum and their compounds. The subsequent chapters tackle the various analytical chemistry processes that can be applied to niobium and tantalum, such as spectrographic determination; titrimetric methods; and colorimetric determinations. The book will be of great use to chemists, chemical engineers, and metallurgists.
