Minerals for Refractories

The main uses of bentonite are in 

• drilling mud and 
• as a binder, 
• purifier, 
• absorbent,
• carrier for fertilizers or pesticides.
• As of around 1990, almost half of the US production of bentonite was used as drilling mud. 
• Minor uses include filler, 
• sealant, and catalyst in petroleum refining.

Benefits of Gypsum Granules

• Gypsum looses the tightness of the soil and allows water as well as other nutrients to penetrate it and reach deeper to the root system of the plants. 
• It helps in reclaiming the saline and alkali soil.

Glass wool can be a loose-fill material, blown into attics, or together with an active binder, sprayed on the underside of structures, sheets, and panels that can be used to insulate flat surfaces such as cavity wall insulation, ceiling tiles, curtain walls, and ducting.

Copper slag is a by-product of copper extraction by smelting. During smelting, impurities become slag which floats on the molten metal. Slag that is quenched in water produces angular granules which are disposed of as waste or utilized as discussed

Marble powder can be used as an admixture in concrete, so that strength of the concrete can be increased. It is a solid waste material generated from the marble processing and can be used either as a filler material in cement or fine aggregates while preparing concrete

Zircon is used in 

• ceramics, 
• specialty castings and various refractory applications, 
• where its resistance to high temperature and abrasion make it extremely valuable in the manufacturing processes as well as ceramics such as glazes for tiles and sanitary wear.

• Ball clays are fine grained, 
• highly plastic clays, 
• which are principally used in the manufacture of ceramic whiteware and sanitaryware where they are appreciated for their plasticity, unfired strength and their light color on firing.

It is used to make concrete,
