Roasted iron pyrites

CPC v2.1 Code: 3453

About roasted iron pyrites

cpc code 3453 covers the industry of roasted iron pyrites, a crucial raw material used in various chemical and industrial processes. Iron pyrites, also known as fool's gold, is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined and then roasted to produce a range of valuable products. This industry plays a significant role in the broader chemical and manufacturing sectors, providing essential inputs for a wide array of applications.

Production process

The production of roasted iron pyrites involves several key steps. First, the raw iron pyrites ore is extracted from mines and quarries. The ore is then crushed, ground, and sorted to remove impurities. Next, the purified ore is heated in a furnace or roaster at high temperatures, typically between 600-800°C. This roasting process drives off sulfur and other volatile compounds, leaving behind a concentrated iron oxide product known as roasted iron pyrites.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of roasted iron pyrites include the raw iron pyrites ore, which is the primary feedstock. Additionally, the process requires specialized furnaces or roasters, as well as energy sources such as natural gas or electricity to power the high-temperature roasting. Skilled labor and transportation infrastructure to move the raw materials and finished products are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the roasted iron pyrites industry is the roasted iron oxide product, which is used as a raw material in various chemical and industrial applications. This includes the production of 2812 sulfuric acid, 2819 other inorganic chemicals, and 3312 iron and steel mills and ferroalloy manufacturing. The roasted iron pyrites may also be further processed or combined with other materials to create specialized products for specific end-uses.
