What's the difference between ferrocolumbite and tantalum?
Ferrocolumbite
Definition:
Example Sentences:
Tantalum
Definition:
(n.) A rare nonmetallic element found in certain minerals, as tantalite, samarskite, and fergusonite, and isolated as a dark powder which becomes steel-gray by burnishing. Symbol Ta. Atomic weight 182.0. Formerly called also tantalium.
Example Sentences:
(1) Ultra thin, even, and grainless tantalum films have been found effective in eliminating the charging artifacts caused by external fields, and the decoration artifacts caused by crystal growth as seen in gold films.
(2) Lungs with tantalum powder were not measurably influenced by the bronchographic agents.

(6) Nineteen patients with mainly cervical tracheal stenoses (12 patients) were investigated in order to examine if a functional X-ray-diagnostic procedure (X-ray-cinetracheobronchography--CTBG--of the central airways in several beam-directions during forced breathing, cough and Valsalva-maneuver after contrasting of the trachea and main-bronchi with powdered tantalum) yields an increase of findings in comparison with a static roentgenologic procedure (chest films p. a. and frontal; tomography) and an endoscopic examination.
(7) Airway reactivity as assessed by methacholine challenge did not explain the difference in response to tantalum in the third group.
(8) In two to six weeks old autografts removed one to three hours after particle injection, the reconstituted marginal zones contained practically all of the sequestered tantalum.
