Imodium may also be used to decrease the amount of discharge in patients who have undergone an ileostomy (a procedure to move waste out of the body when the colon or rectum is not working properly) or to treat diarrhea in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Uses. Zirconium is used in a number of industrial applications because it is so resistant to corrosion. It is used in pumps and valves and the cores of nuclear reactors. Zirconium oxide is used to make laboratory crucibles and to line furnaces.nother feature of zirconium is that it does not absorb neutrons (unlike hafnium, which absorbs neutrons, and is also found in zirconium deposits). This makes it useful in nuclear applications, where it is used as fuel cladding in nuclear reactors, and as a coating on nuclear fuel parts.
