Carbon disulphide

HS code 281310 covers the classification of carbon disulphide, a versatile chemical compound with a wide range of industrial applications. As a key raw material, carbon disulphide plays a crucial role in the production of various chemicals, textiles, and agricultural products, making it an essential component of the global supply chain. Its importance extends across multiple industries, contributing to the overall economic development and growth.

The production of carbon disulphide typically involves the reaction of sulfur and carbon at high temperatures, often in the presence of a catalyst. The process typically takes place in specialized industrial facilities equipped with the necessary equipment and safety measures to handle the hazardous nature of the raw materials and the final product.

The primary inputs required for the production of carbon disulphide include sulfur, a reliable source of carbon (such as coal or natural gas), and specialized equipment like reaction vessels, distillation columns, and purification systems. Additionally, the process may require the use of catalysts, energy sources, and various control systems to ensure the efficient and safe operation of the production facility.

The primary output of HS code 281310 is carbon disulphide, which is then used as a feedstock for the production of a wide range of other chemicals, including 281119 Carbon oxysulphide, 281119 Carbon tetrachloride, and 290531 Ethylene dithiocarbonate. These downstream products find applications in industries such as textiles, agriculture, and the production of various industrial solvents and intermediates.
