Thallium and articles thereof; other than unwrought thallium, powders or waste and scrap

HS v2017 Code: 811259

About thallium and articles thereof; other than unwrought thallium, powders or waste and scrap

hs code 811259 covers a range of products related to the element thallium and its various forms. Thallium is a rare, soft, and malleable metal with unique properties that make it useful in various industrial and scientific applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader chemical and materials sector, contributing to the development of specialized technologies and products across multiple industries.

Production process

The production of thallium and related articles typically involves a series of complex chemical and metallurgical processes. Thallium is primarily extracted from the by-products of other metal production, such as copper, zinc, and lead smelting. The extracted thallium is then refined and processed into various forms, including ingots, sheets, and compounds, depending on the specific application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of thallium and related articles include raw thallium materials, such as ores or concentrates, as well as various chemicals and reagents used in the refining and processing stages. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery, such as furnaces, reactors, and purification systems, are essential for the efficient and safe production of these materials.

Production outputs

The outputs of this industry include a range of thallium-based products, such as 811251 Thallium, unwrought, 811252 Thallium, powders, and 811253 Thallium, waste and scrap. These materials may be further consumed by industries producing specialized electronic components, optical devices, and various other high-tech applications that leverage the unique properties of thallium.
