Life cycle assessment of ferroniobium and niobium oxides ...
· Niobium is mostly known for its use as ferroniobium (FeNb) in the steel industry or pure niobium in special alloys. Niobium oxides (Nb 2 O 5) also have important uses, such as piezoelectric materials, lenses and technologies with FeNb and Nb 2 O 5 have been investigated having positive outcomes. Their use in renewable energy production (wind .
