Double salts and mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate
CPC v2.1 Code: 34614
About double salts and mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate
cpc code 34614 covers the production and trade of double salts and mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate. These chemical compounds are widely used in the fertilizer industry, playing a crucial role in supporting global agricultural productivity. As a key input for 31000 Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products, this industry is integral to the broader chemical manufacturing sector and the overall economy.
Production process
The production of double salts and mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate typically involves a multi-step chemical process. First, calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate are individually produced through the reaction of nitric acid with their respective mineral sources. These two compounds are then combined and mixed to form the final double salt product, which is often granulated or prilled to improve handling and application characteristics.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 34614 products include nitric acid, calcium-containing minerals (such as limestone or dolomite), and ammonia. Specialized production equipment, such as reactors, granulators, and drying systems, are also necessary to facilitate the chemical reactions and product formation. Energy, in the form of heat or electricity, is another key input for the various stages of the manufacturing process.
Production outputs
The primary output of cpc code 34614 is the double salt or mixture of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, which is primarily used as a fertilizer in the 01000 Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities industry. These products may also find applications in other 20000 Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products industries, such as the production of explosives or specialty chemicals.
