Metals; rhodium, unwrought or in powder form
HS v2022 Code: 711031
About metals; rhodium, unwrought or in powder form
HS code 711031 covers the trade of rhodium, a rare and precious metal that plays a crucial role in various industries. Rhodium is highly valued for its exceptional properties, including corrosion resistance, high melting point, and catalytic capabilities. This metal finds extensive application in the automotive, electronics, and chemical sectors, making it an essential component in the global economy.
Production process
Rhodium is primarily extracted from platinum group metal ores through a complex refining process. The ore is first crushed and concentrated, then subjected to various chemical and physical separation techniques to isolate the rhodium. This process involves smelting, leaching, and electroplating to produce the pure, unwrought metal or rhodium powder.
Production inputs
The production of rhodium requires access to specialized mining and refining equipment, as well as a reliable supply of platinum group metal ores. Additionally, the process involves the use of various chemicals, energy sources, and skilled labor to ensure efficient and high-quality output.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of HS code 711031 are unwrought rhodium and rhodium powder. These materials are then consumed by a range of industries, including 870323 motor vehicles, 851790 telecommunications equipment, and 284390 inorganic chemicals, where rhodium is used in catalytic converters, electrical contacts, and chemical catalysts, respectively.
