Hydrocarbons and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
CPC v2.1 Code: 3411
About hydrocarbons and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives
cpc code 3411 covers the production and processing of hydrocarbons and their various derivatives. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon atoms, and they form the basis of many essential chemicals and fuels. The derivatives of these hydrocarbons, including halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated, and nitrosated forms, have a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, making this a critical sector within the broader chemical industry.
Production process
The production of hydrocarbons and their derivatives typically involves a combination of extraction, refining, and chemical processing techniques. Crude oil and natural gas are the primary sources of hydrocarbons, which are then separated and purified through distillation, cracking, and other refining processes. The resulting hydrocarbon streams are then further processed through various chemical reactions to produce the desired halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of hydrocarbons and their derivatives include crude oil, natural gas, and a range of other raw materials such as halogens, sulfur compounds, and nitrating agents. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery, such as distillation columns, reactors, and separation units, are essential for the various processing and refining steps involved.
Production outputs
The outputs of cpc code 3411 include a diverse range of products, including fuels, solvents, plastics, and specialty chemicals. These outputs are then consumed by a wide variety of downstream industries, such as 3912 Plastics in primary forms, 3920 Paints, varnishes and similar coatings, printing ink and mastics, and 3940 Pharmaceuticals, medicinal chemicals and botanical products.
