Chlorates; of sodium

HS v2017 Code: 282911

About chlorates; of sodium

HS code 282911 covers the classification of sodium chlorate, a chemical compound with a wide range of industrial applications. As a powerful oxidizing agent, sodium chlorate is a crucial ingredient in the production of various products, from bleaching agents to pyrotechnics. This industry plays a significant role in the broader chemical sector, supporting downstream industries and contributing to the overall economy.

Production process

Sodium chlorate is typically produced through the electrolysis of a sodium chloride (salt) solution. The process involves passing an electric current through the solution, which causes the sodium ions to migrate towards the cathode and the chloride ions to the anode. The resulting chemical reaction produces sodium chlorate, which is then purified and crystallized for commercial use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of sodium chlorate include sodium chloride (salt), water, and electricity to power the electrolysis process. Additionally, specialized equipment such as electrolytic cells, evaporators, and crystallizers are necessary for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 282911 is sodium chlorate, which finds applications in 282910 Chlorates, other than of sodium and 284700 Perchlorates; bromates and perbromates; iodates and periodates. Sodium chlorate is used in the production of bleaching agents, disinfectants, and various other chemical products, making it an important input for a wide range of downstream industries.
