Data reveals that the Indian Li-pegmatites belong to the Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) family, and occur manly in parts of Bihar-Jharkhand, Bastar-Odisha and Karnataka, with some in Rajasthan, Maharashtra, West Bengal and Assam. Major mineral phases of Li are lepidolite, amblygonite and spodumene, the last one being dominant in …

The columbite group is a solid solution with varying proportions of Nb or Ta in its composition. According to the International Mineralogical Association (IMA), 'tantalite' or 'coltan' are not scientific names, yet they are widely used. Many specimens commonly named tantalite are actually minerals of the columbite or tapiolite group ...

The principal lithium ore minerals are spodumene, petalite, and lepidolite; cesium mostly comes from pollucite; and tantalum mostly comes from columbite-tantalite. Tin ore as cassiterite and beryllium ore as beryl also occur in LCT pegmatites, as do a number of gemstones and high-value museum specimens of rare minerals.

The Chinese Altai is renowned for its rich rare-element resources. Nine representative rare-element (REL) pegmatites were dated using LA-ICP-MS and 40 Ar– 39 Ar methods. The columbite grains yield a weighted mean 206 Pb/ 238 U age of 239.6±3.8 Ma for the Dakalasu (Be-Nb-Ta) pegmatite and concordia U–Pb ages of 258.1±3.1 Ma and …

Coltan 139 and these three columbite-tantalite samples with variable compositions yielded internally consistent LA-ICP-MS U-Pb ages when using each other for calibration and the weighted mean 206 Pb/ 238 U ages are comparable to respective ID-TIMS ages. Composition-dependent U-Pb fractionation seems to be insignificant under …

Australia was initially the largest producer of columbite-tantalite in the world, closely followed by Canada and Brazil. In 2006 alone, the three countries had an 80% share of total columbite-tantalite produce. However, their production of coltan went downhill following environmental regulations and unsuccessful mining company buyouts.

Columbite-tantalite is radioactive due to uranium and thorium. It is rich in yttrium (1.29–2.71% Y 2 O 3) with substantial amount of cerium (Muralikrishna et al. 1995). Columbite-tantalite from pegmatite of Umedpur area is also radioactive due to U and Th, and contains 3.99 wt% Y 2 O 3 and 0.1 wt% Ce 2 O 3 (Maithani and Nagar 1999).

Compositionally, columbite-tantalite of the Li-albite granites is constrained between MnNb 2 O 6 and MnTa 2 O 6 (the Ta/(Nb+Ta) atom. ratio ranges between 0.10 and 0.80). This low to high ratio and the association of columbite-tantalite with topaz, fluorite and lithian micas (in the series zinnwaldite-white mica) indicate a higher solubility ...

Columbite, tantalite, coltan and most Nb-Ta bearing mineral ores also possess certain measure or degree of radioactive impurities [40], [42], [43]. Certain radioactive properties such as ThO 2 and UO 2 particles above 0.1% composition are often contained as impurities, hence do not meet stipulated ore exportation standard/guidelines.

In short, columbite-Fe is more common than columbite-Mn and in turn are both much more common than tantalite-Mn and the fourth example, tantalite-Fe, is actually very scarce. There are paragenetic guidelines. Associated iron and manganese bearing minerals tend to have a similar ratio of elements, but they need to be coeval.
