Vanadium oxides and hydroxides

HS v2017 Code: 282530

About vanadium oxides and hydroxides

HS code 282530 covers vanadium oxides and hydroxides, which are important industrial chemicals with a wide range of applications. Vanadium is a rare transition metal that is primarily used as an alloying agent in steel and other metal products, enhancing their strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. The vanadium oxide and hydroxide compounds described by this code are essential raw materials for the production of these specialized metal alloys, making them a crucial component of the global manufacturing and construction industries.

Production process

Vanadium oxides and hydroxides are typically produced through the processing of vanadium-containing ores and minerals. The primary production method involves the roasting of vanadium-bearing materials, such as magnetite or vanadium-rich slags, followed by leaching and chemical separation to isolate the vanadium compounds. The specific techniques may vary depending on the source material and the desired end product, but the general process involves a series of high-temperature reactions, chemical extractions, and purification steps.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of vanadium oxides and hydroxides include vanadium-containing ores and minerals, as well as various chemical reagents and energy sources for the processing and refining operations. Specialized equipment, such as furnaces, reactors, and separation systems, are also essential for the efficient production of these materials. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metallurgy, chemical engineering, and process optimization.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 282530 are various forms of vanadium oxides and hydroxides, which are then used as raw materials for the production of 810810 Titanium and articles thereof, 720810 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, and other specialized metal alloys. These vanadium-based products are crucial for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction, where their unique properties contribute to the development of high-performance materials.
