The crude selenium serves as the starting material for the production of almost all selenium products. Most of the annual demand of about 2,000 - 2,500 t of refined selenium is used in the glass industry as a decolorant and coloring agent as well as an alloying metal for steel and lead. Likewise, it is an essential trace element for mammals and is added to animal fodder in the form of natrium selenite. Selenium is used in foodstuffs and the pharmaceutical industry, e.g., in baby food and vitamin injections, to give metals antique coloring and to produce rectifiers, digital X-ray detectors and high-performance photocopying drums in the electric and electro-optical industries.
