Carbonates; barium carbonate

HS v2022 Code: 283660

About carbonates; barium carbonate

HS code 283660 covers the classification of barium carbonate, a vital industrial chemical used in a wide range of applications. Barium carbonate is an important raw material in the production of glass, ceramics, and various electronic components. It also finds use in the manufacturing of paints, pigments, and other specialty chemicals. As a key input for several industries, the barium carbonate market plays a significant role in the broader economy, supporting the development of diverse products and technologies.

Production process

Barium carbonate is typically produced through the reaction of barium chloride or barium hydroxide with sodium carbonate. The process involves dissolving the barium compound in water, then adding sodium carbonate to precipitate the barium carbonate. The precipitate is then filtered, washed, and dried to obtain the final product. Depending on the desired purity and application, additional purification steps may be employed.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of barium carbonate include barium chloride or barium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and water. Additionally, the manufacturing process may require specialized equipment such as reactors, filters, and drying systems. Energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are also necessary to power the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 283660 is barium carbonate, which is then consumed by various downstream industries. Some of the main industries that utilize barium carbonate include 701000 Glass and glassware, 690000 Ceramic products, and 854000 Electrical machinery and equipment. Barium carbonate is also used in the production of 282000 Inorganic chemicals, such as pigments and specialty chemicals.
