Sulphates; of barium

HS v2022 Code: 283327

About sulphates; of barium

HS code 283327 covers the classification of barium sulphates, an important industrial mineral with a wide range of applications. Barium sulphate is a naturally occurring compound that is mined and processed for use in various industries, including paints, plastics, rubber, and the production of other chemical compounds. As a key raw material, barium sulphate plays a vital role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, contributing to the overall economic activity.

Production process

Barium sulphate is primarily produced through the mining and processing of natural barium-containing ores. The ore is first extracted from the ground, then crushed, ground, and purified to remove impurities. The purified barium sulphate is then dried and processed into the desired form, such as powder or granules, for use in various applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of barium sulphate include the raw barium-containing ore, as well as energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, to power the mining and processing equipment. Additionally, various chemicals and reagents may be used in the purification and processing stages to ensure the desired purity and quality of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 283327 is barium sulphate, which is then used as a raw material in the production of 282520 barium compounds, 282990 inorganic chemicals, and 321290 paints and varnishes. Barium sulphate is also used in the manufacturing of 701990 glass and glassware and 401699 rubber and plastic products.
