Phosphates; of potassium, whether or not chemically defined

HS v2022 Code: 283524

About phosphates; of potassium, whether or not chemically defined

HS code 283524 covers potassium phosphates, a crucial group of inorganic compounds with a wide range of industrial and agricultural applications. These phosphates play a vital role in the production of fertilizers, detergents, and various chemical products, making them an essential component of the global import/export trade. Their importance extends across multiple industries, contributing to the overall growth and development of the international economy.

Production process

Potassium phosphates are typically produced through the reaction of phosphoric acid and potassium hydroxide or carbonate. The specific production process may involve various steps, such as neutralization, evaporation, and crystallization, to obtain the desired form of the phosphate compound. Manufacturers may also employ purification techniques to ensure the quality and purity of the final product.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of potassium phosphates include phosphoric acid, potassium hydroxide or carbonate, and various other chemicals and reagents depending on the specific manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, such as reactors, evaporators, and crystallizers, to facilitate the production and processing of these compounds.

Production outputs

Potassium phosphates find applications in a wide range of industries, including 310000 Fertilizers, 340000 Soap, Detergents, Cleaning Preparations, Perfumes and Cosmetics, and 281000 Basic Chemicals. These phosphates are used in the formulation of fertilizers, detergents, water treatment chemicals, and various other industrial and consumer products. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by manufacturers within these related 283000 Inorganic Chemicals; Organic or Inorganic Compounds of Precious Metals, of Rare-Earth Metals, of Radioactive Elements or of Isotopes and 284000 Organic Chemicals industries.
