Chlorides; of nickel

HS v2022 Code: 282735

About chlorides; of nickel

HS code 282735 covers the classification of chlorides of nickel, an important chemical compound with a wide range of industrial applications. Nickel chlorides are essential in the production of various metal alloys, electroplating processes, and the manufacture of nickel-based catalysts. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting the broader metal processing, chemical, and automotive sectors within the global economy.

Production process

Nickel chlorides are typically produced through the reaction of nickel metal or nickel oxide with hydrochloric acid. The resulting solution is then purified and crystallized to obtain the desired nickel chloride compound. Depending on the specific application, the production process may involve additional steps such as drying, granulation, or further chemical modifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of nickel chlorides include nickel metal or nickel oxide as the primary raw material, as well as hydrochloric acid and other chemicals used in the purification and crystallization processes. Additionally, specialized production equipment, such as reactors, evaporators, and crystallizers, are necessary for the efficient manufacture of nickel chlorides.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 282735 is nickel chloride, which is then used as an input for various downstream industries. Some of the main consumers of nickel chlorides include the 282200 Nickel oxides and hydroxides, 282700 Chlorides, chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides, and 284700 Catalysts, as well as the metal processing and electroplating sectors.
