Nickel oxides and hydroxides

HS v2017 Code: 282540

About nickel oxides and hydroxides

HS code 282540 covers nickel oxides and hydroxides, which are important industrial compounds with a wide range of applications. Nickel is a versatile metal that is used in the production of various alloys, batteries, and catalysts. The nickel oxides and hydroxides produced under this code are essential raw materials for these industries, making them a crucial component of the broader metal and chemical manufacturing sectors.

Production process

Nickel oxides and hydroxides are typically produced through the oxidation of nickel metal or the precipitation of nickel salts. The most common production method involves the roasting of nickel sulfide ores, which generates nickel oxide. This nickel oxide can then be further processed to produce various nickel hydroxide compounds.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of nickel oxides and hydroxides include nickel-containing ores or concentrates, as well as various chemical reagents and energy sources. Specialized equipment, such as furnaces, reactors, and filtration systems, are also necessary for the different stages of the production process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 282540 are various forms of nickel oxides and hydroxides, which find applications in the production of 282200 Nickel oxides and other nickel compounds, 284200 Cobalt oxides and hydroxides; commercial cobalt oxides, and 284700 Mixtures of nickel oxides and other nickel compounds. These compounds are further utilized in the manufacturing of batteries, catalysts, and other industrial products.
