About unroasted iron pyrites

cpc code 16120 covers the industry of unroasted iron pyrites, a crucial mineral resource with a wide range of industrial applications. Iron pyrites, also known as fool's gold, is a naturally occurring iron sulfide compound that plays a significant role in the global mining and chemical industries. This industry is an important contributor to the broader economy, providing essential raw materials for various manufacturing processes and downstream sectors.

Production process

The production of unroasted iron pyrites typically involves the extraction of the mineral from natural deposits, such as mines or quarries. The ore is then crushed, screened, and processed to remove any impurities or unwanted materials, ensuring the final product meets the required purity and quality standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of unroasted iron pyrites include the raw mineral ore, mining and processing equipment, and energy sources to power the extraction and refining operations. Additionally, the industry may rely on specialized transportation and logistics services to move the raw materials and finished products to their respective markets.

Production outputs

The primary output of the unroasted iron pyrites industry is the refined mineral itself, which is then consumed by various downstream industries. These may include 24100 Basic iron and steel, 20130 Inorganic basic chemicals, and 20150 Fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, where iron pyrites is used as a raw material for the production of sulfuric acid, pigments, and other chemical compounds.
