HS v2022 Code: 3802
About activated carbon; activated natural mineral products; animal black, including spent animal black
HS code 3802 covers a range of activated carbon and related products that play a crucial role in various industrial and commercial applications. Activated carbon, in particular, is a highly porous material with a large surface area, making it an effective adsorbent for the removal of impurities, contaminants, and odors from liquids and gases. This industry is essential for water treatment, air purification, and the production of a wide array of goods, contributing significantly to the broader economy.
Production process
The production of activated carbon and related products under HS code 3802 typically involves a process of activation. This can be done through thermal or chemical means, where the raw material (such as coal, wood, or coconut shells) is subjected to high temperatures or chemical treatments to increase its porosity and surface area. The resulting activated carbon is then processed further, depending on the specific application, to meet the required specifications and quality standards.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the production of HS code 3802 products include various carbonaceous raw materials, such as coal, wood, coconut shells, and other agricultural or industrial waste. Additionally, the production process may require specialized equipment, such as furnaces, reactors, and filtration systems, as well as chemical reagents and energy sources to facilitate the activation and processing stages.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the HS code 3802 industry are activated carbon, activated natural mineral products, and animal black, including spent animal black. These products find applications in a wide range of industries, including 2844 Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof, 2401 Tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitutes, and 2833 Tanning or dyeing extracts; tannins and their derivatives; dyes, pigments and other coloring matter; paints and varnishes; putty and other mastics; inks.
