COLTAN
Name:
Coltan
Production:
-
Tantalum Capacitors
-
Electronic Device
Coltan is used primarily for the production of tantalum capacitors, used in many electronic devices. Coltan is important in the production of mobile phones; tantalum capacitors are used in almost every kind of electronic device.
Cobalt
Name:
Cobalt
Production :
-
lithium-ion batteries
-
magnetic
-
alloys
Cobalt is primarily used in lithium-ion batteries, and in the manufacture of magnetic, wear-resistant, and high-strength alloys. The compounds cobalt silicate and cobalt(II) aluminate (CoAl2O4, cobalt blue) give a distinctive deep blue color to glass, ceramics, inks, paints, and varnishes.
Diamonds
Name:
Diamonds
Production :
-
Jewelry
All diamond particles are embedded into saw blades, drill bits, and grinding wheels to increase their ability to cut tough materials. Diamond powder, made into a diamond paste, is used for polishing or for very fine grinding. Diamonds are also used to cut and polish other diamonds for jewelry.
Tantalum
Name:
Tantalum
Production :
-
electrolytic
-
capacitors
-
corrosion-resistant chemical equipment
The most important uses for tantalum are in electrolytic capacitors and corrosion-resistant chemical equipment. Tantalum capacitors have the highest capacitance per unit volume of any capacitors and are used extensively in miniaturized electrical circuitry.
Gold
Name:
Gold
Production :
-
coinage
-
jewelry
-
arts
A relatively rare element, gold is a precious metal that has been used for coinage, jewelry, and other arts throughout recorded history. In the past, a gold standard was often implemented as a monetary policy.
Cadmium
Name:
Cadmium
Production :
-
Batteries
-
Pigments
-
Alloys
-
Metal Coatings
-
Plastic Stabilizers
-
Solar Cells
Most cadmium used is extracted during the production of other metals such as zinc, lead, and copper. Cadmium does not corrode easily and has been used to manufacture batteries, pigments, alloys, metal coatings, and plastic stabilizers and solar cells
Manganese
Name:
Manganese
Production :
-
ceramics
-
fertilizers
Manganese (IV) oxide is used as a catalyst, a rubber additive and to decolourise glass that is coloured green by iron impurities. Manganese sulphate is used to make a fungicide. Manganese (II) oxide is a powerful oxidising agent and is used in quantitative analysis. It is also used to make fertilisers and ceramics
Coal
Name:
Coal
Production :
Power generation
Power generation is the primary use for coal worldwide. Thermal coal is burnt to create steam that drives turbines and generators for the production of electricity. Metallurgical (coking) coal is a key ingredient in steelmaking. Coal converted to coke is used to produce around 70% of the world’s steel.
Tin
Name:
Tin
Production :
-
steel cans
-
plating
-
bearings
-
solder
Tin is widely used for plating steel cans used as food containers, in metals used for bearings, and in solder. The origins of tin are lost in antiquity. Bronzes, which are copper-tin alloys, were used by humans in prehistory long before pure tin metal itself was isolated. Cassiterite: Cassiterite contains 78.6% Sn and are the principal tin ore throughout ancient history and remains the primary source of tin metal, used as plates, cans, containers, solders, and polishing compounds and alloys.
Nickel
Name:
Nickel
Production :
-
coating on metals
-
nickel-metal hydride batteries
-
nickel-cadmium
Nickel is used as a coating on other metals to slow down corrosion. Nickel is also used for a variety of purposes including the production of coins, nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries; as a catalyst for certain chemical reactions; and, as a colorant, nickel is added to glass to give it a green colour.
Copper
Name:
Copper
Production :
-
conduct electricity
-
cooking utensils
-
heat exchangers
is used to conduct electricity – mostly as wiring. It is also an excellent conductor of heat and is used in cooking utensils, heat sinks, and heat exchangers. Large amounts are also used to make alloys such as brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper, tin, and zinc).
Iron ore
Name:
Iron ore
Production :
-
steel
-
iron
Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world’s iron and steel industries. It is therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base. Almost all (98%) iron ore is used in steelmaking. Iron ore is mined in about 50 countries.
