Mining, manufacturing and steelmaking are some of them.

Steelmaking, printing, gunpowder, and compasses
what caused the steelmaking industry to boom and why? The steel-making industry boomed mainly because of a new manufacturing technique called the Bessemer steel process. this allowed steel to be produced at a much faster pace allowing the industry to boom. :)

Iron ore is typically first crushed and then separated from gangue minerals through processes such as magnetic separation or froth flotation. The concentrated iron ore is then processed in a blast furnace to produce molten iron, which can be further refined into steel through different methods such as basic oxygen steelmaking or electric arc furnace steelmaking.
Calcium carbide is used in steelmaking as a fuel and a powerful deoxidizer. It is also used in the production of carbide lamps but has been relatively phased out of all mining operations.
for refractory applications (25 percent), brake linings (13 percent), dressings and molds in foundry operations (9 percent), lubricants (8 percent), and miscellaneous uses such as steelmaking (45 percent).
There are different grades of magnesia carbon brick. And it is usually used for the lining and tap hole of steelmaking converter, the sidewall and slag line of high power electric ARC furnace and ladle slag line.

"Several banks have upgraded their steel price forecast recently to reflect the rising cost of steelmaking. Citibank expects hot-rolled coil (HRC) prices for 2008 to be at $700 per tonne, up 12.9 percent from a previous forecast." http://www.guardian.co.uk/feedarticle?id=7334940 [issued on Feb. 25.]
