HS v2022 Code: 811259

About thallium and articles thereof; other than unwrought thallium, powders or waste and scrap

HS code 811259 covers a range of thallium-based products, excluding unwrought thallium, powders, and waste/scrap. Thallium is a rare, soft, and malleable metal with unique properties that make it valuable in various industrial applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader chemical and materials sector, contributing to the development of specialized products used across diverse industries.

Production process

The production of thallium and thallium-based articles typically involves a multi-step process. First, thallium is extracted from mineral ores or other sources through various chemical and metallurgical techniques. The extracted thallium is then refined and processed into the desired forms, such as sheets, rods, or compounds, using methods like melting, casting, and chemical synthesis. Depending on the specific application, additional processing steps may be required to impart the desired properties or to incorporate thallium into more complex products.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of thallium and thallium-based articles include raw thallium materials, such as ores, concentrates, or recycled thallium sources. Additionally, various chemicals, energy sources, and specialized equipment, such as furnaces, reactors, and purification systems, are required to extract, refine, and process the thallium into the desired forms. The availability and cost of these inputs can significantly impact the overall production and supply of thallium-based products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 811259 include a range of thallium-based products, such as thallium metal, thallium compounds, and articles incorporating thallium. These outputs may find applications in various industries, including 282619 Thallium compounds, 285390 Other inorganic compounds, and 681599 Articles of stone or of other mineral substances, n.e.s.. The specific end-use applications can vary widely, from specialized electronics and optical devices to medical and research applications.
