HS v2022 Code: 810210

About molybdenum; articles thereof, including waste and scrap, powders

HS code 810210 covers molybdenum and articles made from it, including waste, scrap, and powders. Molybdenum is a critical metal used in a wide range of industrial applications, from steel production to electronics. It plays a vital role in the global economy, contributing to the manufacture of essential goods and infrastructure. This code is particularly important for industries involved in the extraction, processing, and trade of molybdenum-based materials.

Production process

Molybdenum is primarily extracted from molybdenite ore through a process of mining, concentration, and chemical processing. The ore is first crushed and ground, then undergoes flotation to separate the molybdenite from other minerals. The concentrated molybdenite is then roasted to produce molybdenum trioxide, which is subsequently reduced to pure molybdenum metal. Molybdenum can also be recycled from scrap and waste materials, contributing to the sustainability of the industry.

Production inputs

The production of molybdenum-based products requires several key inputs, including molybdenite ore, energy sources for mining and processing, and specialized equipment such as crushers, flotation cells, and furnaces. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in mining, metallurgy, and chemical processing.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 810210 include pure molybdenum metal, molybdenum alloys, and molybdenum-containing products such as catalysts, lubricants, and specialty steels. These outputs are then consumed by a variety of other industries, including 721310 Steel products, 840120 Turbines, and 854011 Cathode-ray tubes.
