ORE PREPARATION AND CBMM

Niobium occurs in the mineral pandaite, which is essentially a complex oxide hydro-oxide of niobium, barium, titanium, rare earths of the cerium group, and thorium. The ore is radioactive due to presence of thorium (0.12% in the ore) in the pandaite and monazite minerals. Table I1 shows a complete
