Nickel oxides and hydroxides

HS v2022 Code: 282540

About nickel oxides and hydroxides

HS code 282540 covers nickel oxides and hydroxides, which are important industrial chemicals with a wide range of applications. Nickel is a vital metal used in the production of various alloys, stainless steel, and rechargeable batteries. The nickel oxides and hydroxides produced under this code are essential raw materials for these industries, making them a crucial component of the broader metal manufacturing and chemical sectors.

Production process

Nickel oxides and hydroxides are typically produced through the chemical processing of nickel-containing ores or scrap materials. The main production methods involve roasting, smelting, and refining processes to extract and purify the nickel content. Depending on the desired end product, the nickel may be further oxidized or hydroxylated to create the specific nickel oxide or hydroxide compounds.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of nickel oxides and hydroxides are nickel-bearing ores, scrap metal, and various chemical reagents. Machinery and equipment used in the mining, smelting, and refining processes are also essential inputs. Additionally, energy sources such as electricity, natural gas, or coal are required to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 282540 are various forms of nickel oxides and hydroxides, which are then consumed by other industries. These include 282200 Nickel oxides and hydroxides, 750110 Nickel mattes, and 750120 Nickel oxide sinters and other intermediate products of nickel metallurgy. The nickel compounds produced under this code are used in the manufacture of batteries, catalysts, pigments, and other industrial applications.
