Tetracalcium Phosphate is known as Thomas slag.

Its formula is Ca4(PO4)2O.

It is also called as Thomas phosphate or Bessemer basic slag. It is found in the mineral Hilgenstockite.

It is used as a fertilizer and due to its high basic effects it is useful on acidic soils and less effective on alkaline soil.

As far as i have enquired about it yes,it is used in cement production in the cement industries
