niobium

The rare metal niobium has a hardness similar to titanium and is used in stainless steel alloys.

It was not a discovery as such for students of geology had since the 1960s read a paper by P.M Harris on the discovery and recovery of niobium from Mrima Hills.

The diffractograms for the commercial niobium pentoxide showed a characteristic halo diffraction of amorphous materials.

The as-prepared nano-metallic Pd was added to the solution containing the ammonium m-vanadate solution followed by the ammonium molybdate, titania and niobium oxalate solutions, as mentioned before.

Next, the team wants to attempt 3D printing cavities with highly pure niobium powder.

Technavio's analysts forecast the global niobium market to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the period 2016-2020.

Niobium and its compounds have a broad spectrum of applications.

(Headquarters: Chigasaki, Kanagawa; President and CEO: Hisaharu Obinata; hereafter referred to as ULVAC) announces that it has developed niobium material of high purity for superconducting accelerators and will start selling the material in July.

The new approach uses yarns, made from nanowires of the element niobium, as the electrodes in tiny supercapacitors (which are essentially pairs of electrically conducting fibers with an insulator between).

One example is a polyethylene terephthalate transparent film attached to a laminate of very thin 5-to 29-nm silver layer between two 2- to 50-nm niobium oxide layers formed by sputtering.

During this period he has overseen the development of a Tantalum Mine in Mozambique and the acquisition and evaluation of the Mrima Hill Rare Earth and Niobium Project in Kenya.

The Award consisted of an engraved plaque, a medallion made of niobium and an honorarium of 5,000 USD.
