About ketones and quinones; whether or not with other oxygen function, and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrostated derivatives

HS code 2914 covers a diverse range of organic compounds known as ketones and quinones. These compounds play a crucial role in various industries, from pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to specialty chemicals and plastics. As key intermediates and building blocks, ketones and quinones find applications across a wide spectrum of the global economy, making this code an important component of international trade and commerce.

Production process

The production of ketones and quinones typically involves a range of chemical synthesis techniques, such as oxidation, reduction, and condensation reactions. Depending on the specific compound, manufacturers may utilize processes like catalytic hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, or electrophilic aromatic substitution to obtain the desired products. Advanced purification methods, such as distillation, crystallization, or chromatography, are often employed to ensure the high purity and quality of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of ketones and quinones include a variety of organic precursors, such as alcohols, aldehydes, and aromatic compounds. Additionally, manufacturers may rely on specialized catalysts, solvents, and other auxiliary chemicals to facilitate the various synthesis steps. Sophisticated production equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and centrifuges, are also essential for the efficient and reliable manufacture of these compounds.

Production outputs

The diverse range of ketones and quinones produced under HS code 2914 find applications in numerous industries. These compounds are used as intermediates in the production of 2922 Amine-function compounds, 2924 Carboxyamide-function compounds; amide-function compounds of carbonic acid, and 2926 Nitrile-function compounds, among others. Additionally, ketones and quinones are utilized in the formulation of 3304 (Beauty or make-up preparations and preparations for the care of the skin (other than medicaments), including sunscreen or sun tan preparations; manicure or pedicure preparations), 3307 Pre-shave, shaving or after-shave preparations, personal deodorants, bath preparations, depilatories and other perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations, not elsewhere specified or included, and various specialty chemicals.
