Chlorides; of aluminium

HS v2022 Code: 282732

About chlorides; of aluminium

HS code 282732 covers the classification of aluminium chlorides, an important group of chemical compounds with a wide range of industrial applications. Aluminium chlorides are essential raw materials for the production of various aluminium-based products, making them a crucial component in the broader aluminium industry. These compounds play a significant role in the manufacturing of aluminium metal, as well as in the production of other aluminium-containing chemicals and materials.

Production process

Aluminium chlorides are typically produced through the reaction of aluminium metal or aluminium oxide with chlorine gas or hydrogen chloride. The specific production methods may involve electrolytic processes, thermal decomposition, or direct chlorination techniques, depending on the desired purity and form of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium chlorides include aluminium metal or aluminium oxide, as well as chlorine gas or hydrogen chloride. Additionally, the manufacturing process may require specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, to ensure the desired quality and consistency of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 282732 is aluminium chlorides, which can be further processed and used as raw materials in various industries. These chlorides may be consumed by industries producing 282010 aluminium oxide, 760110 unwrought aluminium, or other aluminium-based chemicals and materials. The specific applications of aluminium chlorides can include the production of aluminium metal, the manufacture of catalysts, and the formulation of various chemical products.
