Chlorides; of ammonium

HS v2022 Code: 282710

About chlorides; of ammonium

HS code 282710 covers the classification of ammonium chloride, a widely used industrial chemical compound. Ammonium chloride is an important raw material in various industries, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. Its versatility and high demand make it a crucial component in the global chemical supply chain, contributing to the broader economy through its diverse applications.

Production process

Ammonium chloride is typically produced through the reaction of ammonia and hydrochloric acid. This process involves the neutralization of ammonia with hydrochloric acid, resulting in the formation of ammonium chloride. The compound is then purified and crystallized to obtain the desired product. Modern production techniques often utilize continuous processes and advanced purification methods to ensure consistent quality and high yields.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of ammonium chloride are ammonia and hydrochloric acid. Ammonia is typically derived from the Haber-Bosch process, which combines nitrogen and hydrogen under high temperature and pressure. Hydrochloric acid is a common industrial chemical, often produced as a by-product in other chemical processes. Additionally, the production process may require specialized equipment, such as reactors, crystallizers, and drying systems.

Production outputs

Ammonium chloride is a versatile compound with a wide range of applications. It is commonly used as a fertilizer, a food additive, a flux in soldering, and a component in various pharmaceutical and electronic products. The output of HS code 282710 may be consumed by industries classified under other HS codes, such as 310520 Mineral or chemical fertilizers, nitrogenous, 291511 Acetic acid, and 854400 Insulated wire, cable, and other insulated electric conductors, among others.
