Conservation of Minerals

Uses of Minerals: Minerals are used in many industries. Minerals which are used for gems are usually hard. Copper is another metal used in everything from coins to pipes. Silicon, used in the computer industry is obtained from quartz. Aluminum obtained from its ore bauxite is used in automobiles and airplanes, bottling industry, buildings and even in kitchen cookware.

Conservation of Minerals: Minerals take a long time to develop, and so they cannot be replenished immediately at the time of need. Minerals are non- renewable resources. It takes thousands of years for the formation and concentration of minerals. The rate of formation is much smaller than the rate at which the humans consume these minerals. It is necessary to reduce wastage in the process of mining. Recycling of metals is another way in which the mineral resources can be conserved.
