HS v2022 Code: 291469

About quinones; other than anthraquinone and coenzyme q10 (ubidecarenone (inn))

HS code 291469 covers a group of organic compounds known as quinones, which are essential in various industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Quinones play a crucial role in numerous chemical processes, including energy production, pigment formation, and the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals. This industry is a vital component of the broader organic chemicals sector, contributing to the development of a wide range of products that are integral to modern society.

Production process

The production of quinones typically involves a series of chemical reactions, often starting with the oxidation of aromatic compounds. Depending on the specific quinone being produced, various techniques may be employed, such as catalytic oxidation, electrochemical synthesis, or enzymatic transformations. The precise methods used can vary depending on the desired properties and purity of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of quinones under HS code 291469 include a range of aromatic compounds, such as benzene, toluene, and xylene, as well as various oxidizing agents, catalysts, and solvents. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are essential for the efficient and high-quality production of these compounds.

Production outputs
