[0029] Four additional experimental runs were performed using less pure feedstock and altering the sizing of the feedstock used to make the compacts. In each case, the product was NbO free of other compounds and free of metallic niobium. This indicates the subject process is robust and not dependent on particular sources of oxides or niobium metal. In one experimental run, the commercial-grade niobium pentoxide used as feedstock contained approximately 400 ppm of iron, and the niobium metal contained less than 50 ppm of iron. After converting the feedstock to NbO by the subject process, the NbO was analyzed and found to contain less than 100 ppm of iron. This represents a reduction of at least 50% in the iron content during the subject process. The subject process also offers the opportunity to recover NbO values from waste streams associated with production of powder-based NbO products, since the refining action of the present invention can effectively remove or dilute most contami...

[0031] The formation of niobium monoxide by melt phase processing lends itself to the recovery and remelting of niobium monoxide solids in, but not limited to powder, chips, solids, swarf and sludges. Off-grade powder, recycled capacitors and powder production waste are among the materials that can be reverted to full value niobium monoxide by this process. A compact was prepared from “waste” NbO powders of various sizes and production states. The compact was melt-reacted in the electron beam furnace to produce a sound NbO ingot. Subsequent testing of the ingot showed it to be indistinguishable in crystalline structure, purity, and electronic characteristics (specific capacitance, DC leakage) from earlier ingots produced from high-purity raw materials. Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry showed no elevated impurity levels compared to earlier “high-purity” ingots.
