Mu myaka ya za 1980, kubera itangwa rya makeibicuruzwa bya karubonen’inyungu nyinshi y’ibicuruzwa bya karubone, inganda za karubone muri rusange zagize inyungu nziza mu bukungu, kandi inganda za karubone zazamutse vuba mu gihugu hose.Ariko, kubera kubura ibikoresho bya karubone byateye imbere, inganda zose za karubone ni nto, biragoye gukora imbaraga zipiganwa neza.Byongeye kandi, hari ubushobozi burenze bwibicuruzwa byo mu rwego rwo hasi, gutanga bidahagije no gukenera ibicuruzwa byo mu rwego rwo hejuru, hamwe n’inganda za karubone zidafite ishingiro.Iterambere ryiterambere ryibimera bya karubone bifitanye isano rya hafi nuburyo bwo gukora tekinoroji yo mu rwego rwo hejuru.

Ibikoresho fatizo byibikoresho bya karubone nibicuruzwa bya karubone nibikoresho fatizo bya karubone.Imiterere yimiti, imiterere ya morfologiya nibiranga umubiri na chimique biratandukanye cyane kubera amasoko atandukanye hamwe nubuhanga bwo gukora.Ukurikije imiterere yumubiri irashobora kugabanywamo ibikoresho bikomeye (agregate) nibikoresho fatizo byamazi (adhesives and impregnators).

Muri byo, ibikoresho fatizo byibicuruzwa bya karubone birashobora kugabanywamo: ibikoresho byinshi by ivu n’ibikoresho bito bito by ivu ukurikije ibikubiye mu mwanda udasanzwe.Ivu ryibikoresho byivu byibanze biri munsi ya 1%, nka peteroli ya peteroli, kokiya ya asifalt, nibindi.kokiya, anthracite nibindi.Mubyongeyeho, ibikoresho byo kugaruka mubikorwa, nka grafite yamenagura, birashobora kandi gukoreshwa nkibikoresho fatizo bikomeye.Bitewe ninshingano zitandukanye nogukoresha ibikoresho bitandukanye bibisi, ibisabwa byubuziranenge nabyo biratandukanye.
