  • As a construction material for building and paving
  • For making cement
  • As an additive to paint plastics and other products
  • In the manufacture of paper glass and ceramics
  • In the production of fertilizers insecticides and other chemical products
  • In the production of pharmaceuticals food additives and dietary supplements
  • In the production of animal feed and pet food
