  2. Tantalum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum

    Tantalum was extensively used in the production of ultra high frequency electron tubes for radio transmitters. Tantalum is capable of capturing oxygen and nitrogen by forming nitrides and oxides and therefore helped to sustain the high vacuum needed for the tubes when used for internal parts such as grids and plates.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_5_element

    There are 2 parts per million of tantalum in the Earth's crust, making it the 51st most abundant element there. Soil contains on average 1 to 2 parts per billion of tantalum, and seawater contains 2 parts per trillion of tantalum. A typical human contains 2.9 parts per billion of tantalum. Tantalum is found in the minerals tantalite and ...

    A 25-foot (7.6 m) wall of coal fly ash from the release of 5.4 million cubic yards ash slurry into the Emory River, Tennessee, in 2008. [1] The river water was contaminated with toxic metals including arsenic, copper, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, and thallium. [2]

  5. Tantalum pentoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum_pentoxide

    Tantalum pentoxide, also known as tantalum(V) oxide, is the inorganic compound with the formula Ta 2 O 5. It is a white solid that is insoluble in all solvents but is attacked by strong bases and hydrofluoric acid. Ta 2 O 5 is an inert material with a high refractive index and low absorption (i.e. colourless), which makes it useful for coatings ...

  6. Tantalite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalite

    The mineral group tantalite [(Fe, Mn)Ta 2 O 6] is the primary source of the chemical element tantalum, a corrosion (heat and acid) resistant metal.It is chemically similar to columbite, and the two are often grouped together as a semi-singular mineral called coltan or "columbite-tantalite" in many mineral guides.

  7. Organotantalum chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organotantalum_chemistry

    Tantalum alkylidene complexes arise by treating trialkyltantalum dichloride with alkyl lithium reagents. This reaction initially forms a thermally unstable tetraalkyl-monochloro-tantalum complex, which undergoes α-hydrogen elimination, followed by alkylation of the remaining chloride.
