Other chemical minerals

CPC v2.1 Code: 1619

About other chemical minerals

cpc code 1619, 'Other chemical minerals', encompasses a diverse range of naturally occurring mineral resources that are essential for various industrial and commercial applications. These minerals play a crucial role in the production of a wide array of products, from fertilizers and pharmaceuticals to specialty chemicals and construction materials. The 1619 industry is a vital component of the broader chemical and mining sectors, contributing significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The production of other chemical minerals typically involves a combination of mining, processing, and refining techniques. Depending on the specific mineral, the extraction process may involve open-pit mining, underground mining, or even solution mining. Once extracted, the minerals undergo various processing steps, such as crushing, screening, and beneficiation, to remove impurities and concentrate the desired mineral content. In some cases, further refining processes, such as chemical treatment or thermal processing, may be necessary to produce the final product.

Production inputs

The production of other chemical minerals requires a range of inputs, including heavy machinery and equipment for mining and processing, as well as energy sources such as electricity and fuel. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including geologists, mining engineers, and processing technicians, to ensure efficient and safe operations. The availability of the raw mineral resources themselves is a critical input, and the industry is heavily dependent on the location and accessibility of these natural deposits.

Production outputs

The 1619 industry produces a diverse range of chemical minerals, including 1619 Other chemical minerals, 1411 Potassium salts, and 1412 Phosphates, among others. These minerals are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, such as 2012 Fertilizer and nitrogen compounds, 2021 Pesticide and other agricultural chemical manufacturing, and 2329 Other non-metallic mineral product manufacturing.
