2. Bone ashBone ash is the white, material produced by the calcination of bones. It is primarily composed of calcium phosphate. It is commonly used in fertilizers, polishing compounds and in making ceramics such as bone china. It also has historical uses in the manufacture of baking powders and assay cupels. Although synthetic alternatives, such as dicalcium phosphate and tricalcium phosphate, have been produced, the majority of bone china is still made using natural bone ash.
