Slag, ash and residues; (not from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing antimony, beryllium, cadmium, chromium or their mixtures

HS v2022 Code: 262091

About slag, ash and residues; (not from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing antimony, beryllium, cadmium, chromium or their mixtures

HS code 262091 covers a range of slag, ash, and residues that contain specific heavy metals, including antimony, beryllium, cadmium, and chromium. These materials are generated as byproducts or waste from various industrial processes, but not from the manufacture of iron or steel. The proper management and disposal of these materials is crucial, as they can pose environmental and health risks if not handled appropriately. This industry plays an important role in the broader waste management and recycling ecosystem, ensuring that potentially hazardous materials are processed and disposed of safely.

Production process

The production techniques for materials under HS code 262091 typically involve the collection, sorting, and processing of the slag, ash, and residues. This may include mechanical separation, chemical treatment, or other specialized processing methods to extract and concentrate the target heavy metals. The goal is to prepare the materials for safe disposal or, where possible, to recover and recycle the valuable metal components.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry are the slag, ash, and residues generated from various industrial activities. These feedstocks may come from a range of sources, including 260111 Slag and dross, arising from the manufacture of iron or steel, 260112 Slag and dross, arising from the manufacture of iron or steel, granulated, and other industrial processes that produce waste containing the specified heavy metals. In addition to the raw materials, the industry may require specialized equipment, machinery, and chemical reagents to facilitate the collection, sorting, and processing of the materials.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the processed slag, ash, and residues, which are then either safely disposed of or, in some cases, further refined to recover the valuable heavy metal components. The recovered metals may be sold to 810520 Cobalt mattes and other intermediate products of cobalt metallurgy; unwrought cobalt; cobalt powders, 810810 Titanium, unwrought; titanium waste and scrap, or other industries that can utilize these materials. The proper management and disposal of the remaining waste products is also a key output of this industry, ensuring the safe handling of potentially hazardous materials.
