“…For instance, studies have shown that high-grade chrysotile asbestos can be used to produce pure magnesium compounds or hydrated silica (Kim and Chung, 2003;Wypych et al, 2005;Cheng and Hsu, 2006;Wang et al, 2006). Other researchers have tried to use asbestos as a fused magnesium phosphate (fertilizer) additive (Huang, 1953), for stearic acid adsorption (Berkheiser, 1982), for carbon dioxide sequestration (Schulze et al, 2004;Lin et al, 2008;Pronost et al, 2012), and even as a lubrication additive (Foresti et al, 2003;Lyubimov et al, 2011;Qi et al, 2012).…”
