Jan 15, 2021· The high-grade columbite-tantalite sample was collected from a Ta-Nb mine in Jiangxi, China. It was not pure, thus purification process was required to prepare the pure sample of columbite-tantalite. The sample was purified using a combination of a shaking table and a high-gradient magnetic separator (HGMS).
