Peroxides of sodium or potassium

HS code 281530 covers the classification of peroxides of sodium or potassium, which are important chemical compounds with a wide range of industrial applications. These compounds play a crucial role in various manufacturing processes, from bleaching and oxidation to water treatment and chemical synthesis. As a key component in numerous industries, the peroxides of sodium and potassium contribute significantly to the broader chemical and manufacturing sectors of the global economy.

Peroxides of sodium or potassium are typically produced through the reaction of sodium or potassium hydroxide with hydrogen peroxide. This process involves carefully controlling the temperature, pressure, and reaction time to ensure the desired purity and yield of the final product. The resulting peroxide compounds are then purified and packaged for distribution to various end-users.

The main inputs required for the production of peroxides of sodium or potassium include sodium or potassium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and various processing equipment such as reactors, filtration systems, and drying units. Additionally, the production process may require utilities like electricity, steam, and cooling water to maintain the necessary operating conditions.

The primary outputs of HS code 281530 are the peroxides of sodium and potassium, which find applications in a wide range of industries. These compounds are commonly used as bleaching agents, oxidizing agents, and disinfectants in industries such as 281820 (Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda)), 281511 (Sodium hydroxide in aqueous solution (soda lye or liquid soda)), and 281810 Chlorine. The peroxides may also be consumed by manufacturers of 291590 (Other esters of inorganic acids of non-metals (excluding esters of hydrogen halides) and their salts; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives), 282490 Other inorganic bases; other metal oxides, hydroxides and peroxides, and various other chemical products.
