Slag, ash and residues; (not from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing mainly lead; excluding leaded gasoline sludges and leaded anti-knock compound sludges

HS v2022 Code: 262029

About slag, ash and residues; (not from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing mainly lead; excluding leaded gasoline sludges and leaded anti-knock compound sludges

HS code 262029 covers a specific type of slag, ash, and residues that contain mainly lead. These materials are generated as byproducts or waste from various industrial processes, excluding those related to the manufacture of iron or steel. The proper management and disposal of these lead-containing materials are crucial for environmental protection and human health, as lead is a highly toxic substance. This industry plays an important role in the broader waste management and recycling sectors, contributing to the responsible handling of hazardous industrial waste.

Production process

The production techniques for materials under HS code 262029 typically involve the collection, sorting, and processing of various industrial waste streams. This may include the separation of lead-containing components from other materials through physical, chemical, or thermal methods. The goal is to concentrate the lead content and prepare the materials for safe disposal or potential recycling and recovery of the lead.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include the collection and transportation of the relevant industrial waste streams, specialized equipment for sorting and processing the materials, and any necessary chemical reagents or energy sources used in the treatment processes. Proper storage, handling, and worker safety equipment are also critical inputs to ensure the responsible management of these hazardous materials.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the processed slag, ash, and residues that have been separated and concentrated to contain mainly lead. These materials may then be sent to 260700 Lead ores and concentrates or 780110 Unwrought lead industries for further processing and recovery of the lead content. Additionally, the industry may produce other waste streams or byproducts that require specialized disposal or treatment methods.
