Oct 24, 2018 While mica brings key environmental benefits to a wide number of industries, is mica environmentally friendly when it comes to its mining, processing and disposal?. Mica is a naturally occurring mineral and its two main forms used in various industrial and commercial applications are phlogopite or green mica, and muscovite or white mica.

Here's a description of how, after it's mined, it's processed: Initially, ore is crushed to a fine powder to liberate the various mineral components of the ore, and then it is slurried to form an aqueous mineral dispersion.

It has found use in the electronics industry as anelectrical insulator in capacitors and under semiconductordevices. Sheet and block mica are used in the electrical industry as electrical insulators
Read MoreAug 23, 2019 Mica is a mineral name given to a group of minerals that are physically and chemically similar. They are all silicate minerals, known as sheet silicates because they form in distinct layers. Micas are fairly light and relatively soft, and the sheets and flakes of mica are flexible. Mica is heat-resistant and does not conduct electricity.

Read MoreMay 14, 2018 Mica extraction often takes place at informal or illegal mining sites in developing nations where infrastructure and regulation is limited. This is a labour intensive process where miners are poor and vulnerable, often conducting their work by hand in poorly maintained shafts. This is dangerous work with little health and safety or protective equipment.
