Chlorides; of ammonium

HS v2017 Code: 282710

About chlorides; of ammonium

HS code 282710 covers the classification of ammonium chloride, a widely used industrial chemical. Ammonium chloride is an important compound with applications in various industries, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. It plays a crucial role in the production of fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and as a flux in soldering processes. The global ammonium chloride market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from the agricultural and industrial sectors.

Production process

Ammonium chloride is typically produced through the reaction of ammonia and hydrochloric acid. The main production process involves the neutralization of ammonia with hydrochloric acid, followed by crystallization and drying to obtain the final product. The resulting ammonium chloride crystals are then processed and packaged for distribution to various end-use industries.

Production inputs

The primary raw materials required for the production of ammonium chloride are ammonia and hydrochloric acid. Ammonia is often derived from the Haber process, which involves the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen gases. Hydrochloric acid is a commonly available industrial chemical, produced as a by-product in various chemical processes. In addition to these raw materials, the production of ammonium chloride may also require energy sources, such as electricity or steam, as well as specialized equipment like reactors, crystallizers, and drying systems.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 282710 is ammonium chloride, which is then consumed by various industries. Ammonium chloride finds applications in the production of 310520 Mineral or chemical fertilizers, nitrogenous, where it is used as a source of nitrogen. It is also used in 300490 Medicaments, particularly in the formulation of certain pharmaceutical products. Additionally, ammonium chloride is utilized in 853890 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the apparatus of headings 8535, 8536 or 8537, where it serves as a flux in soldering processes.
