Shale
In cement production, shale is a source of alumina (Al2O3), which is an important ingredient to facilititate efficient formation of clinker minerals. Shale is composed of mainly clay minerals and some fragments of other minerals like quartz and calcite.
Cement corrective to increase strength and to reduce CO2 footprint
Clay in shale is also the main material used in production of bricks, pottery, and other ceramic products.
