HS v2022 Code: 2602
About manganese ores and concentrates, including ferruginous manganese ores and concentrates with a manganese content of 20% or more, calculated on the dry weight
HS code 2602 covers manganese ores and concentrates, which are essential raw materials for the steel and chemical industries. Manganese is a critical alloying element in steel production, improving its strength, hardness, and resistance to wear and corrosion. The manganese ore and concentrate industry plays a vital role in supporting the global manufacturing and infrastructure sectors, which rely on high-quality steel products.
Production process
Manganese ores and concentrates are typically extracted from open-pit or underground mines. The ore is then crushed, screened, and beneficiated to increase the manganese content. Common beneficiation techniques include gravity separation, magnetic separation, and flotation. The concentrated manganese ore is then processed further, often through smelting or other metallurgical processes, to produce various manganese products for industrial applications.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the manganese ore and concentrate industry include the raw manganese-bearing ore deposits, as well as energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, for the mining and processing operations. Specialized mining and processing equipment, such as excavators, crushers, and beneficiation plants, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including geologists, mining engineers, and metallurgists, to efficiently extract and process the manganese resources.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the manganese ore and concentrate industry are various grades of manganese products, including 2602 Manganese ores and concentrates, including ferruginous manganese ores and concentrates with a manganese content of 20% or more, calculated on the dry weight, 2603 Copper ores and concentrates, and 2601 Iron ores and concentrates, including roasted iron pyrites. These manganese-rich materials are then consumed by the steel industry, as well as the chemical and battery manufacturing sectors, which use manganese as a key input for their production processes.
