Tantalum Pentoxide - Ta2o5

With the help of skilled professionals and good knowledgeable experience, we are involved in supplying, exporting, distributing and supplying quality-assured spectrum of Tantalum Pentoxide - Ta2O5 in Taloja, Maharashtra, India. Tantalum occurs in the minerals tantalite and columbite (columbium being an archaic name for niobium), which occur in pegmatites, an igneous rock formation. Mixtures of columbite and tantalite are called coltan. Tantalite was discovered by Anders Gustaf Ekeberg at Ytterby, Sweden, and Kimoto, Finland. The minerals microlite and pyrochlore contain approximately 70% and 10% Ta, respectively. Tantalum pentoxide, also known as tantalum(V) oxide, is the inorganic compound with the formula Ta2o5. It is a white solid that is insoluble in all solvents but is attacked by strong bases and hydrofluoric acid.
