Na indústria de refratários, o minério é utilizado na fabricação de tijolos
para fornos de alumínio, vidro e no revestimento de peças para fusão na
indústria siderúrgica. No setor de fundição, usa-se o minério adicionado à
confecção de moldes em fundição de ligas especiais devido à alta
refratariedade, baixo coeficiente de expansão térmica, boa estabilidade
química e elevada difusibilidade térmica. Na indústria de vidros, tintas e
soldas, aplica-se a zirconita como abrasivo.
