Salts; molybdates

HS v2022 Code: 284170

About salts; molybdates

HS code 284170 covers a range of salts and molybdates, which are important compounds used in various industrial and commercial applications. Molybdates, in particular, are widely used in the production of lubricants, catalysts, and pigments, making them a crucial component in many manufacturing processes. This industry plays a significant role in the broader chemical and materials sectors, contributing to the development of a wide range of products that are essential for modern society.

Production process

The production of salts and molybdates typically involves chemical synthesis processes. Molybdates are often produced by reacting molybdenum compounds, such as molybdenum trioxide, with other chemicals to form the desired salt. The specific production techniques may vary depending on the type of salt or molybdate being manufactured, but generally involve a series of chemical reactions, purification, and crystallization or precipitation steps to obtain the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of salts and molybdates include raw materials such as molybdenum compounds, various acids and bases, and other chemical reagents. Additionally, specialized equipment like reactors, filtration systems, and drying or crystallization units are necessary for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are also important inputs for the production of these compounds.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 284170 are various salts and molybdates, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of industries. These compounds may be consumed by manufacturers of 284169 Molybdates, 283699 (Salts of other inorganic acids or peroxoacids (excluding azides)) and 284190 (Salts of other inorganic acids or peroxoacids (excluding azides), n.e.c. in 2841), among others. The specific applications of these salts and molybdates can vary, but they are often used in the production of lubricants, catalysts, pigments, and various other industrial and commercial products.
