Coltan is used in other things besides phones, like hearing aids and pacemakers Coltan, or Tantalite is an ore mined in the DR Congo, (among other places) and is alleged to be the cause of war and unrest there.
Coltan was discovered in the 20th century, with significant deposits found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and other regions in Africa. The name "coltan" is actually a combination of columbite and tantalite, the two main minerals that make up coltan.

According to a report produced by the United Nations in October 2003, the smuggling and exporting of coltan helped fuel the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in which has lead to around 5.5 million deaths. Coltan is a mineral: columbite-tantalite from which columbium (niobium) and tantalum are obtained. The mining of this mineral was an important feature in the local economy and,although the DRC's share of world production of tantalum is not particularly large, it would have affected the funding streams of the various armies and so could have shortened the war.
it just is Coltan is needed in many (mostly all) technical devices: mobile phones, laptops, computers etc. Without coltan none of these would be able to connect (or work) However it has disadvantages
Coltan is not an element on the Periodic Table. Coltan is a mineral from which niobium and tantalum are extracted from.
