Natural calcium phosphates, natural aluminium calcium phosphates and phosphatic chalk

cpc code 16110 covers the extraction and processing of natural calcium phosphates, natural aluminium calcium phosphates, and phosphatic chalk. These materials are essential raw materials for the production of fertilizers, animal feed supplements, and various industrial applications. The global demand for these phosphate-rich resources has been steadily increasing, driven by the need to support sustainable agricultural practices and meet the growing global population's food requirements.

The production of materials under cpc code 16110 typically involves the mining and processing of phosphate-bearing rock deposits. This process often begins with the extraction of the raw material from open-pit or underground mines. The extracted material is then crushed, washed, and beneficiated to remove impurities and concentrate the phosphate content. Depending on the specific application, further processing steps may involve chemical treatments, granulation, or other techniques to produce the desired product specifications.

The main inputs required for the production of materials under cpc code 16110 include the natural phosphate-bearing rock deposits, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on mining and processing equipment, such as excavators, crushers, and beneficiation plants. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary for the various stages of production. Water is another critical input, used for washing and processing the raw materials.

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 16110 are various forms of natural phosphates, including 16110 Natural calcium phosphates, natural aluminium calcium phosphates and phosphatic chalk, which are then used as inputs for the production of 20120 Fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, 10910 Prepared animal feeds, and other industrial applications. The processed phosphate materials may also be further refined or blended to meet specific customer requirements.
