Mining chemicals play a major role in the processing of mineral ores. The consumption of base metals (like iron, steel, aluminum, etc.) and precious metals (such as silver, gold, and platinum) has increased steadily, owing to their various applications in many industries. These metal mining processes require mining chemicals at the stage of processing the respective ores. Tall oil fatty acids (TOFA) are used as collector chemicals in mining processes. It is used as a frothing agent in the flotation process for reclaiming low-grade copper-, lead-, and zinc-bearing ores. OLEOflot, a major brand of IOP (Industrial Oleochemical Products), is a blend of tall oil fatty acids. It is most commonly used as mining chemicals.

The electronics industry is by far the largest end-user segment, which accounted for more than 50% of the consumption of polyimide films in 2018. This is majorly due to its wide application base in the industry, including usage in housing cell phones, computers, electrical chargers, fax machines, pagers, connectors, battery boxes, etc.  Moreover, polyimide films offer properties that make them highly suitable for the electronics sector. These properties include light weight and impact- and shatter- resistant qualities, temperature resistance, high service temperature, ductility, and toughness in thin sections.

Viscose is an organic liquid produced from wood pulp. The processing of VSF imparts it with special characteristics, such as high strength and low moisture retention, which are useful in the textile and apparel industries. Moreover, these fibers are best suited for the highly-advanced machines in the textile industry. Apparel is one of the oldest and largest export industries in the world. It is also one of the fastest growing global industries, as most developing nations manufacture textiles for the international textile and apparel market.

Glass does not decompose; therefore, it is important to recycle it. Recycling of glass involves various processes. The consumer throws the glass into a recycle bin that is taken to a glass treatment plant. The glass is then sorted based on color and washed to remove any impurities. Then, the glass is crushed and melted and molded into new products such as bottles and jars. It can also be used for alternative purposes such as brick manufacture or decorative uses. The glass is then sent back for reuse. The glass does not degrade through the recycling process, so it can be recycled repeatedly.
