Waste and scrap of nickel
CPC v2.1 Code: 39362
About waste and scrap of nickel
cpc code 39362 covers the trade of waste and scrap of nickel, a crucial raw material in various industries. Nickel is a versatile metal with high corrosion resistance, making it essential for the production of stainless steel, alloys, and a wide range of industrial and consumer products. The global trade in nickel waste and scrap plays a significant role in the circular economy, as it allows for the recycling and reuse of this valuable material, reducing the need for primary nickel production and contributing to sustainability efforts.
Production process
The main production techniques involved in the processing of nickel waste and scrap include sorting, cleaning, and melting. Scrap nickel is first sorted by grade and composition to ensure consistent quality. It is then cleaned to remove any impurities or contaminants, often through mechanical or chemical processes. Finally, the cleaned scrap is melted down in specialized furnaces, producing refined nickel that can be used as a raw material for various manufacturing processes.
Production inputs
The primary inputs required for the processing of nickel waste and scrap include the scrap material itself, which can come from a variety of sources, such as 39361 Waste and scrap of nickel-chromium alloys, 39363 (Waste and scrap of nickel alloys (other than nickel-chromium)), and 39364 Waste and scrap of nickel, not alloyed. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment, such as sorting machines, cleaning systems, and melting furnaces, as well as energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, to power these operations.
Production outputs
The main output of the nickel waste and scrap processing industry is refined nickel, which can be used as a raw material for the production of 72251 Nickel, not alloyed, unwrought, 72252 Nickel alloys, unwrought, and other nickel-containing products. These refined nickel materials are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 72 Base metals, 73 Articles of base metal, and 84 Machinery and mechanical appliances.
