Slag, dross; (other than granulated slag), scalings and other waste from the manufacture of iron or steel
HS v2017 Code: 2619
About slag, dross; (other than granulated slag), scalings and other waste from the manufacture of iron or steel
HS code 2619 covers slag, dross, scalings, and other waste generated during the production of iron and steel. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader metal manufacturing sector, as it manages the byproducts and residues from primary iron and steel making processes. The efficient handling and utilization of these materials is important for the environmental sustainability and resource efficiency of the metal industry.
Production process
The main production techniques for HS code 2619 materials involve the collection, sorting, and processing of slag, dross, and other waste from iron and steel manufacturing facilities. This may include mechanical separation, crushing, screening, and in some cases, further chemical or thermal treatment to prepare the materials for reuse or disposal.
Production inputs
The key inputs for this industry are the slag, dross, scalings, and other waste generated during the production of 7201 Pig iron and spiegeleisen in pigs, blocks or other primary forms, 7202 Ferro-alloys, 7203 Ferrous products obtained by direct reduction of iron ore and other spongy ferrous products, and other iron and steel making processes.
Production outputs
The main outputs of this industry are processed slag, dross, and other materials that can be used as inputs for other industries. This includes the production of 2618 (Granulated slag (slag sand) from the manufacture of iron or steel), construction aggregates, cement production, and other applications. The specific end-use of these materials will depend on their chemical composition and physical properties.
