Inorganic compounds; cyanogen chloride (chlorcyan)

HS v2017 Code: 285310

About inorganic compounds; cyanogen chloride (chlorcyan)

HS code 285310 covers the classification of inorganic compounds, specifically cyanogen chloride, also known as chlorcyan. This compound is an important industrial chemical with a wide range of applications, from the production of other chemicals to its use in various manufacturing processes. As a key component in the synthesis of numerous compounds, the cyanogen chloride industry plays a vital role in the broader chemical and manufacturing sectors, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global economy.

Production process

Cyanogen chloride is typically produced through the reaction of chlorine gas with cyanide compounds. The process involves carefully controlling the reaction conditions, such as temperature and pressure, to optimize the yield and purity of the final product. Specialized equipment and production facilities are required to handle the hazardous nature of the raw materials and ensure the safe and efficient manufacture of cyanogen chloride.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the cyanogen chloride industry include chlorine gas, cyanide compounds, and various other chemicals and materials used in the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and storage tanks, as well as skilled labor to operate and maintain the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of the cyanogen chloride industry is the cyanogen chloride compound itself, which is then used as a feedstock for the production of other chemicals, such as 282800 Inorganic chemical compounds, n.e.c. and 284700 Halides and halide oxides. Cyanogen chloride is also used in various manufacturing processes, including the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other specialized chemicals.
