Sulphates; of barium

HS v2017 Code: 283327

About sulphates; of barium

HS code 283327 covers the classification of barium sulphates, an important industrial mineral with a wide range of applications. Barium sulphate is a naturally occurring compound that is mined and processed for use in various industries, including paints, plastics, rubber, and the oil and gas sector. As a key raw material, barium sulphate plays a crucial role in the global economy, supporting the production of a diverse array of consumer and industrial products.

Production process

Barium sulphate is primarily produced through the mining and processing of natural deposits. The raw material is extracted from the earth, crushed, and then subjected to a series of purification and refining processes to remove impurities and achieve the desired purity and quality levels. These processes may involve techniques such as flotation, filtration, and chemical treatment, depending on the specific requirements of the end-use applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of barium sulphate include the raw mineral deposits, which are typically found in regions with geological formations conducive to the formation of barium-containing ores. Additionally, the production process may require various chemicals, energy sources, and specialized equipment, such as crushing and grinding machinery, filtration systems, and drying or calcination furnaces.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 283327 is refined barium sulphate, which is then used as a raw material in a wide range of industries. Some of the key industries that consume barium sulphate include 321211 Paints and Coatings, 325991 Printing Ink Manufacturing, 326199 Plastics Product Manufacturing, and 211111 Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction. Barium sulphate is also used in the production of 325180 Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing and 327993 Mineral Wool Manufacturing.
