Gold mining is a process of extracting gold from the gold mine by various methods such as placer mining and hardrock mining. Early miners extracted gold by placer mining. Placer mining uses a variety of technique such as panning, sluice boxing, hydraulic mining, and dredging. All these techniques use the same principal, which is gravity and running water to extract gold. The dense gold gets separated from the lighter sand and gravel as the running water passes through the ore. Most of the current gold production is from hardrock mining. Hardrock mining is an underground mining technique in which underground tunnels are made, which allows massive underground excavation of the gold ore.

Fluorite or fluorspar is one of the commercially significant minerals, which consists of calcium and fluorine or CaF2. Thus, it is a commercially important source of fluorine. It possesses glassy luster and occurs in variety of attractive colors due to presence of trace amount of other elements substituting calcium. The different uses of fluorite are as a flux in the aluminum industry, as a source of fluorine for hydrofluoric acid production, in stages of cryogenically cooled thermal imaging, as gemstone, and others.

Amberplex is ion exchange resin utilized in production of heterogeneous membranes. Powdered ion exchange resin (sufficient quantity) is bonded with an electrically insulating and chemically inert material to produce heterogeneous membranes. The bonding material utilized in the production procedure can be a hydrocarbon wax, thermosetting resin such as alkyd polyester, or thermoplastic resin such as polystyrene. These membranes containing amberplex ion exchange resin are successfully utilized for desalination of brackish & sea water and for the treatment of industrial effluents. They also act as efficient tools for separation of pharmaceutical and food products containing ionic species.

Tungsten has several oxidation states and oxides. Each tungsten oxide has a specific characteristic and feature. It is used in the manufacture of tungstate for fireproofing fabrics, for x-ray screen phosphors, and in gas sensors. Tungsten trioxide is also used as a pigment in coatings, paints, and ceramics due to its rich yellow color. In addition, tungsten trioxide has also proven useful in the production of smart windows or electro chromic windows. Smart windows are essentially electrically switchable glass that can alter its light transmission properties when a certain voltage is applied.

The cathode material in the lithium-ion battery is the major component, which determines the energy density of the cell. This energy density is measured using cell voltage or cell capacity. The working mechanism of the lithium-ion battery is based on intercalation and deintercalation compounds, where the lithium ions from the cathode are introduced into the anode during the charging of the battery and extracted during discharge of the battery, with a minimal structural change in the anode.

Household insecticides are used to control the growth of mosquitoes and other crawling & flying insects to prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases. The products used most often are spray cans, oil sprays, mosquito coils, and slow-release vaporizing systems such as mats and liquid vaporizer.

Medical textiles are defined as the branch of technical textiles dealing with textiles usage in medical field. Medical textiles are also important as medicines are today. Moreover, these textile products act in the same capacity as they treat and prevent medical problems of patients.

Fluorine doped tin oxides are electrically conductive semiconductor materials with relatively low light absorption characteristics. They are prepared using thin film technologies. Fluorine doped tin oxides are extremely flexible intermediate states with both of the aforementioned characteristics. Their conducting properties can be tuned by insulating them from semiconducting to conducting as well as by adjusting their transparency.

Increasing prevalence of hormonal deficiency diseases such as Addison disease in animals is a major factor that drives the animal hormones market. In addition, rise in the demand for meat, increase in animal husbandry, pets, and outbreak of animal diseases propel the animal hormones market growth. However, the ban of some animal hormones in some European countries such as UK, Sweden, and Denmark has hampered the market growth. Moreover, adverse effects of animal hormones and stringent government regulations associated with the safety and efficacy of animal hormones is anticipated to hinder the market growth. Ongoing R&D activities on animal hormones is anticipated to provide opportunities for the market growth.
