About slag, ash and residues; (not from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing mainly metals or their compounds, n.e.c. in heading no. 2620

HS code 262099 covers a diverse range of slag, ash, and residues that contain primarily metals or their compounds. These materials are generated from various industrial processes, excluding those from the manufacture of iron or steel. The proper management and processing of these materials are crucial for environmental protection and the recovery of valuable resources within the circular economy.

Production process

The production techniques for materials under HS code 262099 vary depending on the specific type of slag, ash, or residue. Common methods include physical separation, chemical treatment, and thermal processing to extract and concentrate the valuable metal content. These processes aim to recover the metals for further use or to safely dispose of the remaining waste materials.

Production inputs

The main inputs for industries operating under HS code 262099 include a wide range of industrial waste streams, such as those from 260111 Slag and dross, arising from the manufacture of iron or steel, 260112 Slag and dross, arising from the manufacture of iron or steel, and other non-ferrous metal production processes. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery are required for the handling, sorting, and processing of these materials.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of industries under HS code 262099 are the recovered metals and metal compounds, which can be further processed and utilized in various downstream industries. These may include 740100 Copper, unrefined; copper anodes for electrolytic refining, 750110 Nickel, not alloyed; nickel mattes, nickel oxide sinters and other intermediate products of nickel metallurgy, and 790111 Zinc, not alloyed; zinc dust. The remaining waste materials may be disposed of or used in other applications, such as construction or landfill cover.

Revisions to 262099
