Quinones; other than anthraquinone and coenzyme Q10 (ubidecarenone (INN))

HS v2017 Code: 291469

About quinones; other than anthraquinone and coenzyme q10 (ubidecarenone (inn))

HS code 291469 covers a group of organic compounds known as quinones, which are widely used in various industries. Quinones are a class of cyclic organic compounds that play a crucial role in many biological and chemical processes, including electron transport in cellular respiration and photosynthesis. The quinones described under this code exclude anthraquinone and coenzyme Q10 (ubidecarenone (INN)), which are covered under separate HS codes. This industry is an important part of the broader organic chemicals sector, contributing to the production of a wide range of products across numerous industries.

Production process

Quinones are typically produced through the oxidation of aromatic compounds, such as benzene or naphthalene. The specific production techniques can vary depending on the type of quinone being manufactured, but generally involve a series of chemical reactions, including oxidation, reduction, and purification steps. The final product is then isolated and refined to meet the required purity and quality standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of quinones under HS code 291469 include aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene and naphthalene, as well as various oxidizing and reducing agents, solvents, and other chemical reagents. Additionally, specialized production equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are necessary for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The quinones produced under HS code 291469 are used as intermediates in the synthesis of a wide range of other organic compounds, including dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. These quinones may be further processed and incorporated into 291469 (Quinones; other than anthraquinone and coenzyme Q10 (ubidecarenone (INN))) products, or they may be used as inputs for the production of 290000 Organic chemicals, 300000 Pharmaceutical products, and 380000 Miscellaneous chemical products.
