Chlorides; of aluminium

HS v2017 Code: 282732

About chlorides; of aluminium

HS code 282732 covers the classification of aluminium chlorides, an important group of chemical compounds with a wide range of industrial applications. Aluminium chlorides are essential raw materials for the production of various aluminium-based products, making them a crucial component in the broader aluminium industry. These compounds play a significant role in the manufacturing of aluminium metal, as well as in the production of other aluminium-containing chemicals and materials.

Production process

Aluminium chlorides are typically produced through the reaction of aluminium metal or aluminium oxide with chlorine gas or hydrogen chloride. The specific production techniques may involve electrolytic processes, thermal decomposition, or direct chlorination methods, depending on the desired purity and form of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium chlorides include aluminium metal or aluminium oxide as the primary raw material, as well as chlorine gas or hydrogen chloride. Additionally, the production process may require specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, to ensure the desired quality and purity of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 282732 is aluminium chlorides, which can be used as a feedstock for the production of other aluminium-based compounds and materials. These chlorides may be further processed or combined with other substances to create a wide range of products, including 282520 aluminium oxide, 760110 unwrought aluminium, and various aluminium-containing chemicals and intermediates.
