HS v2017 Code: 2836

About carbonates; peroxocarbonates (percarbonates); commercial ammonium carbonate containing ammonium carbamate

HS code 2836 covers a range of inorganic carbonates, peroxocarbonates, and commercial ammonium carbonate products. These compounds have diverse industrial applications, from glass and ceramic manufacturing to water treatment and pharmaceuticals. As essential raw materials for numerous industries, carbonates play a vital role in the global economy, contributing to the production of a wide array of consumer and industrial goods.

Production process

The production of carbonates typically involves chemical reactions between various mineral sources, such as limestone, dolomite, or sodium carbonate, and other reagents. Common techniques include calcination, carbonation, and precipitation. Manufacturers may also employ purification and crystallization processes to obtain high-purity carbonate products.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the carbonate industry include mineral resources like limestone, dolomite, and sodium carbonate, as well as energy sources, such as natural gas or electricity, to power the production processes. Specialized equipment, including reactors, filters, and crystallizers, are also essential for the efficient manufacture of these inorganic compounds.

Production outputs

The carbonates produced under HS code 2836 find applications in a wide range of industries. They are used as raw materials in the production of 2001 Glass and glassware, 6907 Ceramic products, and 2804 Inorganic chemicals. Carbonates also play a role in water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and various other chemical processes.
