Hydrazine and hydroxylamine and their inorganic salts

HS v2022 Code: 282510

About hydrazine and hydroxylamine and their inorganic salts

HS code 282510 covers the production and trade of hydrazine and hydroxylamine, as well as their inorganic salts. These chemicals are widely used in various industries, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and the production of rocket fuels and other specialty chemicals. As key intermediates in the manufacturing of a diverse range of products, the hydrazine and hydroxylamine industry plays a vital role in the global chemical supply chain and the broader economy.

Production process

Hydrazine and hydroxylamine are typically produced through chemical synthesis processes. The main production methods involve the reaction of ammonia with chlorine or other oxidizing agents to form the desired compounds, which are then purified and processed into various salt forms. These production techniques require specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and crystallization units, to ensure the efficient and safe manufacture of these hazardous chemicals.

Production inputs

The production of hydrazine and hydroxylamine requires several key inputs, including ammonia, chlorine, and other raw materials such as acids and bases. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, including reactors, distillation columns, and crystallization units, to facilitate the chemical synthesis and purification processes. Energy, in the form of electricity or steam, is also a significant input for the operation of these production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 282510 are hydrazine, hydroxylamine, and their various inorganic salt forms, such as hydrazine sulfate and hydroxylamine hydrochloride. These chemicals are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 282400 Inorganic oxygen compounds of non-metals, 290810 Phenols; phenol-alcohols, and 291700 Polycarboxylic acids, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives, among others, for the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals.
