Tantalum has the third-highest melting point of any metal. It is essential for electronic devices such as smartphones as a material for capacitors.
Additionally, due to its low reactivity with the human body, tantalum is also used in the medical field for applications such as artificial bones and implants.
Along with niobium, tantalum is typically recovered from tantalum ore (tantalite).
The main producing countries are African nations such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Nigeria.
