Sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons; whether or not halogenated
HS v2017 Code: 2904
About sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives of hydrocarbons; whether or not halogenated
HS code 2904 covers a diverse range of chemical compounds derived from hydrocarbons through sulphonation, nitration, or nitrosation processes. These specialized derivatives find widespread applications across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. As an essential component of the global chemical supply chain, this industry plays a crucial role in supporting the development and production of a wide array of consumer and industrial products.
Production process
The production of the compounds classified under HS code 2904 typically involves a series of chemical reactions. The starting point is often a hydrocarbon feedstock, which undergoes sulphonation, nitration, or nitrosation to introduce the desired functional groups. These processes may involve the use of concentrated acids, oxidizing agents, and other specialized reagents, often in a controlled and regulated environment to ensure product quality and safety.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 2904 compounds include hydrocarbon feedstocks, such as 2901 Acyclic hydrocarbons or 2902 Cyclic hydrocarbons, as well as various chemical reagents and catalysts. Specialized production equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in organic chemistry, process engineering, and quality control.
Production outputs
The compounds classified under HS code 2904 are widely used as intermediates and building blocks in the production of a diverse range of products. These derivatives may be further processed and incorporated into 2907 Phenols; phenol-alcohols for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, 2915 Saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives for agrochemical formulations, or 2917 Polycarboxylic acids, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives for specialty chemicals.
