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

HS v2017 Code: 262019

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

HS code 262019 covers slag, ash, and residues that contain primarily zinc, excluding hard zinc spelter. This industry plays a crucial role in the recycling and recovery of valuable metals from various industrial processes, contributing to the broader circular economy. The materials classified under this code are essential inputs for industries involved in the production of zinc and other non-ferrous metals.

Production process

The production of materials under HS code 262019 typically involves the collection, sorting, and processing of slag, ash, and other residues from various industrial activities. These materials may undergo a range of treatment processes, such as smelting, leaching, or other metallurgical techniques, to extract the valuable zinc and other metals contained within them.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of materials under HS code 262019 include the slag, ash, and residues generated from industrial processes, particularly those not related to the manufacture of iron or steel. These materials may come from a variety of sources, including non-ferrous metal production, waste incineration, and other industrial activities. Additionally, the industry may require specialized equipment and machinery for the collection, sorting, and processing of these materials.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 262019 is the recovered zinc and other non-ferrous metals extracted from the slag, ash, and residues. These materials may be further processed and refined for use in a wide range of industries, such as 740100 Unwrought zinc and 810120 Chromium production.
