Glycerol, crude; glycerol waters and glycerol lyes

HS v2022 Code: 152000

About glycerol, crude; glycerol waters and glycerol lyes

HS code 152000 covers the classification of glycerol, a versatile chemical compound with a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Glycerol is a byproduct of various manufacturing processes, particularly in the production of 151000 Animal or vegetable fats and oils and their cleavage products; prepared edible fats; animal or vegetable waxes. As a result, the glycerol industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, providing a valuable resource for numerous downstream industries.

Production process

The production of glycerol typically involves the separation and purification of the compound from various waste streams, such as those generated during the production of 151000 Animal or vegetable fats and oils and their cleavage products; prepared edible fats; animal or vegetable waxes. This process often includes distillation, filtration, and other purification techniques to remove impurities and obtain a high-quality glycerol product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the glycerol industry include the raw materials containing glycerol, such as waste streams from the production of 151000 Animal or vegetable fats and oils and their cleavage products; prepared edible fats; animal or vegetable waxes. Additionally, the industry relies on various processing equipment, such as distillation columns, filters, and storage tanks, as well as energy sources and skilled labor to operate the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of the glycerol industry is refined glycerol, which is used in a wide range of applications, including the production of 300000 Pharmaceutical products, 380000 Miscellaneous chemical products, and 382000 (Prepared binders for foundry moulds or cores; chemical products and preparations of the chemical or allied industries (including those consisting of mixtures of natural products), not elsewhere specified or included). Glycerol is also used in the manufacture of 151000 Animal or vegetable fats and oils and their cleavage products; prepared edible fats; animal or vegetable waxes and 330000 Essential oils and resinoids; perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations.
