Saturated chlorinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons; carbon tetrachloride

HS v2017 Code: 290314

About saturated chlorinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons; carbon tetrachloride

HS code 290314 covers the trade and production of saturated chlorinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons, including the widely used chemical compound carbon tetrachloride. This class of chemicals plays a crucial role in various industries, serving as solvents, refrigerants, and intermediates in the manufacture of other important chemicals. Understanding the production and trade dynamics of these substances is essential for businesses and policymakers involved in the global chemical supply chain.

Production process

The primary production method for the chemicals under HS code 290314 is chlorination of acyclic hydrocarbons. This typically involves the reaction of chlorine gas with alkanes, such as methane or ethane, to substitute hydrogen atoms with chlorine. The resulting saturated chlorinated derivatives can then be further processed or purified depending on the desired end-product, such as carbon tetrachloride. Advanced distillation and separation techniques are often employed to ensure the purity and consistency of the final chemicals.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the chemicals under HS code 290314 include acyclic hydrocarbon feedstocks, such as 271112 Methane and 271113 Ethane, as well as chlorine gas. Specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are needed to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 290314 is a range of saturated chlorinated derivatives of acyclic hydrocarbons, including carbon tetrachloride. These chemicals find widespread use as solvents, refrigerants, and intermediates in the production of other chemicals, such as 290311 Chloromethane and 290312 Dichloromethane. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by manufacturers in the 38 Chemicals and allied industries and 39 Plastics and articles thereof sectors.
