Chlorates; of sodium

HS v2022 Code: 282911

About chlorates; of sodium

HS code 282911 covers the classification of sodium chlorate, a chemical compound with a wide range of industrial applications. As a powerful oxidizing agent, sodium chlorate is a crucial ingredient in the production of various products, including explosives, matches, fireworks, and disinfectants. This code sits within the broader chemical industry, which plays a vital role in the global economy by supplying essential materials and compounds for a multitude of downstream sectors.

Production process

The production of sodium chlorate typically involves the electrolysis of a sodium chloride (salt) solution. This process uses an electric current to drive a chemical reaction that converts the chloride ions into chlorate ions. The resulting sodium chlorate solution is then concentrated and crystallized to produce the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of sodium chlorate include sodium chloride (salt), water, and electricity to power the electrolysis process. Additionally, specialized equipment such as electrolytic cells, evaporators, and crystallizers are necessary for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

Sodium chlorate is a versatile chemical with numerous applications. It is used in the production of 281410 Chlorates and perchlorates, of sodium and other chlorate-based compounds, as well as in the manufacture of 360100 Propellent powders and 360200 Prepared explosives. The output of this industry is an essential input for various downstream industries, including the chemical, mining, and defense sectors.
