HS v2017 Code: 262011

About slag, ash and residues; (not from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing mainly zinc, hard zinc spelter

HS code 262011 covers slag, ash, and residues that contain primarily zinc, known as hard zinc spelter. This industry plays a crucial role in the recycling and recovery of valuable metals from various industrial processes, particularly those not involving the manufacture of iron or steel. The proper management and processing of these materials are essential for environmental sustainability and the efficient utilization of natural resources.

Production process

The production of hard zinc spelter typically involves the collection, sorting, and processing of slag, ash, and other residues from various industrial activities. These materials are often subjected to thermal or chemical treatment to extract the zinc content, which can then be refined and repurposed for various applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hard zinc spelter include the slag, ash, and residues containing zinc, as well as the necessary equipment and facilities for their collection, transportation, and processing. Specialized machinery and technologies may be employed to efficiently extract and purify the zinc from these materials.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the refined zinc metal, which can be used in a wide range of applications, such as galvanization, brass production, and the manufacture of various zinc-based products. The processed slag, ash, and other residues may also find use in other industries, such as 270900 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude or 252329 Portland cement, aluminous cement, slag cement, supersulfate cement and similar hydraulic cements, whether or not coloured or in the form of clinkers.
