Industrial mineral - Wikipedia
Typical examples of industrial rocks and minerals are limestone, clays, sand, gravel, diatomite, kaolin, bentonite, silica, barite, gypsum, and talc. Some examples of applications for industrial minerals are construction, ceramics, paints, electronics, filtration, plastics, glass, detergents and paper. In some cases, even organic materials (peat) and industrial products or by-products (cement, slag, silica fume) are categorized under industrial minerals, as well as metallic compounds mainly util

Portland cement has revolutionised the construction industry, and has become one of the largest industrial uses of limestone. The world now consumes approximately 1.5 billion tonnes of cement each year. Portland cement is made by mixing limestone with shale or argillaceous material, which contain silica, alumina, and iron-bearing minerals.

Industrial minerals: Separation technology for the highest
This extremely strong magnetic field enables industrial minerals such as limestone or kaolin to be upgraded further. For the smaller grain sizes of up to 5 mm, the higher degree of breakdown results in higher qualities. Salts can also be upgraded or cleaned by this method, by the separation of clay-containing contaminants.
