CPC v2.1 Code: 152
About gypsum; anhydrite; limestone flux; limestone and other calcareous stone, of a kind used for the manufacture of lime or cement
cpc code 152 covers a diverse range of mineral resources that are essential for the production of lime and cement, two of the most widely used construction materials globally. These materials play a crucial role in the built environment, contributing to the development of infrastructure, buildings, and various other applications. The extraction and processing of these resources are integral to the construction industry, making this code an important component of the broader economy.
Production process
The production of the materials covered under cpc code 152 typically involves mining and quarrying operations. Gypsum, anhydrite, and limestone are extracted from natural deposits using techniques such as blasting, drilling, and excavation. The extracted materials are then processed through crushing, grinding, and screening to achieve the desired size and purity. In some cases, further processing, such as calcination or chemical treatment, may be required to produce the final products used in the manufacture of lime and cement.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the industries covered under cpc code 152 include the raw mineral resources themselves, such as gypsum, anhydrite, and limestone. Additionally, specialized mining and processing equipment, such as excavators, crushers, and kilns, are necessary for the extraction and transformation of these materials. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also crucial inputs for the various stages of production.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the industries covered under cpc code 152 are the processed mineral resources, such as gypsum, anhydrite, limestone flux, and other calcareous stones. These materials are then consumed by the 2011 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms and 2394 Manufacture of cement, lime and plaster industries, which use them as key inputs for the production of lime, cement, and other construction materials.
