Lithium tantalate decomposition

Another method of raw material decomposition is based on the fluorination of the raw material by the hydrofluoride method. No published data exists on hydrofluoride decomposition of columbite or tantalite concentrates. The interaction can, nevertheless, be discussed based on available information on the decomposition of lithium tantalate, LiTaC>3, and lithium niobate, LiNb03, using the hydrofluoride method [113,118,122].
