Chromium is used to harden steel, to manufacture stainless steel (named as it won't rust) and to produce LESSON 5 – MINERALS IMPORTANT TO SOCIETY NATIVE ELEMENTS Carbon is used in jewelries, carbon dating, graphite for pencil lead, and diamond. Copper is used for electrical equipment such as wirings, motors, building structures, electronic products. LESSON 5 – MINERALS IMPORTANT TO SOCIETY NATIVE ELEMENTS Silicon is used to make alloys including aluminum- silicon and ferro-silicon (iron-silicon). Uranium is used as fuel for nuclear power plants and nuclear reactors to produce electricity and also can be LESSON 5 – MINERALS IMPORTANT TO SOCIETY NATIVE ELEMENTS Lithium is used in heat- resistant glass and ceramics, flux additives for iron, lithium metal batteries, and lithium- ion batteries. Nickel is used to make coins, alloys, and vehicle parts material. LESSON 5 – MINERALS IMPORTANT TO SOCIETY NATIVE ELEMENTS Titanium is used in aircraft, spacecraft and missiles because of their low density and ability to withstand extremes of temperature. Power plant condensers use titanium pipes LESSON 5 – MINERALS IMPORTANT TO SOCIETY SILICATES Feldspar is used as raw material that is used in the process of glassmaking, ceramics, an extender in the paint, plastics, and rubber Quartz is used as a raw industries. material for huge amounts of construction materials, such as glass, concrete, or mortar. LESSON 5 – MINERALS IMPORTANT TO SOCIETY SILICATES Mica is used in makeup foundations, as filler in cement and asphalt, and as insulation material in electric cables. LESSON 5 – MINERALS IMPORTANT TO SOCIETY OXIDES Magnetite is used as an important iron ore for steel manufacture. Hematite is used to produce pigments, preparations for heavy media separation, radiation shielding, ballast, LESSON 5 – MINERALS IMPORTANT TO SOCIETY OXIDES Corundum is used as an abrasive, owing to the extreme hardness of the material (9 on the Mohs hardness scale). It is used for grinding optical glass and for polishing metals and has also been made into sandpapers and grinding LESSON 5 – MINERALS IMPORTANT TO SOCIETY SULFIDES Galena is used as an ore of lead, as a material for making lead shot and bullets, and as a semiprecious stone in jewelry. Chalcopyrite is used as an ore copper. LESSON 5 – MINERALS IMPORTANT TO SOCIETY SULFATES Gypsum is used as a fluxing agent, fertilizer, filler in paper and textiles, board products, and tiles and blocks. Barite is used in the production of paints, rubber, and as a filler or to
