Antimony oxides

HS v2017 Code: 282580

About antimony oxides

HS code 282580 covers antimony oxides, which are important inorganic compounds with a wide range of industrial applications. Antimony is a metalloid element that is primarily mined and processed to produce these oxides, which are then used in various manufacturing processes and consumer products. The antimony oxide industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, supporting industries such as 282490 Inorganic chemical products, 854389 Electrical machinery and equipment, and 401120 Pneumatic tires, among others.

Production process

Antimony oxides are typically produced through the oxidation of antimony metal or antimony-containing ores. The most common production method involves roasting antimony-containing ores in the presence of air, which causes the antimony to react with oxygen and form various antimony oxide compounds. These compounds are then further refined and processed to meet the specific requirements of different industries.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of antimony oxides include antimony metal or antimony-containing ores, as well as energy sources (such as electricity or fuel) for the roasting and refining processes. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery, such as furnaces, reactors, and purification systems, are necessary to efficiently produce and process the antimony oxides.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the antimony oxide industry are various forms of antimony oxides, including antimony trioxide (Sb2O3), antimony pentoxide (Sb2O5), and other antimony-containing compounds. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 854389 Electrical machinery and equipment for use in flame retardants, 401120 Pneumatic tires for use as a vulcanizing agent, and 282490 Inorganic chemical products for use in pigments, catalysts, and other specialty applications.
