    done by artisanal miners under the orders of the guerrilla, then the next step in the supply chain after its extraction is the trading and processing of Coltan. Coltan is usually traded in three forms: as ore concentrate, as tantalum oxides and salt, or as capacitor-grade tantalum. Columbite–tantalite is not traded on an open exchange but in negotiations taking place on a bilateral basis between buyers and sellers around the world. Prices are privately discussed and purchase contracts between buyer

  • Tantalum: A Valuable Ore

    1008 Words  | 3 Pages

    Coltan is a tantalum-bearing ore that is very rare, valuable and highly sought all over the world (Hayes & Burge 2003: 11). Tantalum has double the density of steel and is extremely resistant to heat and corrosion (Hayes & Burge 2003: 11). In the majority of high-tech electronics such as computers, mobile phones, and game consoles, it is used as capacitors or super-alloys to conduct electric charges in these electronic equipments (Bleischwitz et al. 2012: 20). Almost a decade ago, Australia was the

    Static electricity was discovered in 600 B.C., but it was not until the mid 1700's when energy storage properties were discovered. 'With the discovery of the first Leyden jar, it was referred to as a condenser because electricity was thought of as a fluid which could condense. The Lehden jar is a glass partially filled with water that has a wire inserted through the top of an insulating stopper (cork). When the wire is charged by static electricity, it holds the charge until the wire comes into

The reason Niobium was given this name was because the element itself had remarkably alike chemical properties to the element Tantalum. However it was formerly named Columbium, this was the element’s common name in America. In comparison, the name of Niobium was more frequency in use in Europe. However, such debate over the name of the element came to an end in 1949 at the Conference

  • The Physics of a Capacitor

    1004 Words  | 3 Pages

    Today in modern life, humans make use of many objects that have certain devices that they are not even aware of how they work or what their main function is. One of these devices that is used a lot without knowing their existence is what is called a "capacitor." Many people have heard the word capacitor, but also many do not even have an idea of what it means or what is the use for it. In this research, I will concentrate on explaining the physics of a capacitor and describing the main types of
