Popis: Available experimental data on the solubility of Nb2O5 and the stability constants for particles of an aqueous solution in the Nb–O–H–F system were processed. As a result, a set of thermodynamic properties for 25°C and 1 bar was obtained, in addition to the equation parameters for the HKF model (Helgeson–Kirkham–Flowers) for hydroxo and hydroxofluoride niobium complexes. F– ion is the most important factor governing the concentration of dissolved Nb: neutral hydroxo complex Nb(OH)5(aq) is formed at a low HF concentration, whereas an increase in HF results in an increase in the first Nb(OH)4F(aq) and second Nb(OH)3F2(aq) fluoride complexes. The Nb(OH)5F– oxofluoride anion determines oxide solubility in alkali F-bearing fluids. Neutralization of acidic fluoride solution can be the main factor leading to niobium deposition.
