Tantalum pentoxide Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The potassium fluorotantalate method heats potassium fluorotantalate and sulfuric acid to 400°C. The reactants are added with water to boiling. After fully diluted, the acidified solution is hydrolyzed to form a hydrated oxide precipitate, which is then separated, washed, and dried to obtain pentoxide. Tantalum products. Its 2K2TaF7+2H2SO4+5H2O→Ta2O5+2K2SO4+14HF metal tantalum oxidation method dissolves metal tantalum flakes in nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid mixed acid, after extraction and purification, precipitates tantalum hydroxide with ammonia water, and then washed, dried and burned 3. Grind finely to get the finished product of tantalum pentoxide. Its 3Ta+5HNO3+21HF→3H2TaF7+5NO+10H2OH2TaF7+7NH4OH→Ta(OH)5+7NH4F+2H2O2Ta(OH)5→Ta2O5+5H2O

Uses

Tantalum pentoxide is used in making high refractive index optical glass; as a dielectric film on tantalum for its use as a capacitor component and rectifier; and for preparing tantalum metal, its carbide, and many other tantalum compounds.
