Carbonates; strontium carbonate

HS v2017 Code: 283692

About carbonates; strontium carbonate

HS code 283692 covers the classification of strontium carbonate, a chemical compound that plays a vital role in various industries. Strontium carbonate is an important raw material used in the production of a wide range of products, from glass and ceramics to pyrotechnics and medical applications. As a key component in the manufacturing of many everyday items, the strontium carbonate industry is an integral part of the broader chemical and materials sectors, contributing significantly to the global economy.

Production process

Strontium carbonate is typically produced through a chemical reaction between strontium compounds, such as strontium sulfate or strontium hydroxide, and a carbonate source, such as sodium carbonate or carbon dioxide. The main production process involves the precipitation of strontium carbonate from aqueous solutions, followed by filtration, drying, and sometimes further purification steps to meet specific quality requirements.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the strontium carbonate industry include strontium-bearing raw materials, such as strontium sulfate or strontium hydroxide, as well as carbonate sources like sodium carbonate or carbon dioxide. Additionally, the industry relies on various types of production equipment, including reactors, filters, dryers, and other specialized machinery to facilitate the chemical synthesis and purification processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of the strontium carbonate industry is, of course, strontium carbonate itself. This chemical compound finds applications in the production of 281512 glass and ceramics, 282990 pyrotechnics, and 300490 certain medical products. Strontium carbonate may also be used as a precursor for the manufacture of other strontium compounds, which are classified under different HS codes.
