About unroasted iron pyrites

cpc code 1612 covers the industry of unroasted iron pyrites, a mineral compound that plays a crucial role in various industrial processes. Iron pyrites, also known as fool's gold, is a naturally occurring sulfide mineral that is widely distributed across the globe. This industry is of significant importance as iron pyrites is a key raw material for the production of sulfuric acid, a widely used chemical in numerous industries, including fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and metal processing.

Production process

The production of unroasted iron pyrites typically involves the mining and extraction of the mineral from its natural deposits. The ore is then crushed, sorted, and processed to remove any impurities or unwanted materials. The final product is the unroasted iron pyrites, which is then sold to various industries for further processing and utilization.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of unroasted iron pyrites include the raw mineral deposits, mining equipment, and processing machinery. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are needed to power the mining and processing operations. Transportation infrastructure, such as roads and railways, is also crucial for the distribution of the final product to various industries.

Production outputs

The primary output of the unroasted iron pyrites industry is the mineral itself, which is then consumed by other industries for various applications. The most significant consumer of unroasted iron pyrites is the 2413 Manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals industry, which uses it as a raw material for the production of sulfuric acid. Other industries that may consume unroasted iron pyrites include 2015 Manufacture of fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, 2120 Manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations, and 2410 Manufacture of basic iron and steel.
