About mining of chemical and fertilizer minerals
isic code 0891, 'Mining of chemical and fertilizer minerals', encompasses the extraction and processing of a variety of minerals and natural resources that are essential for the production of chemical products and fertilizers. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting the global agricultural sector, as well as the broader chemical manufacturing industry, making it a vital component of the overall economy.
Production process
The mining of chemical and fertilizer minerals typically involves a combination of surface and underground mining techniques, depending on the specific mineral deposits and geological characteristics of the region. Key production steps include exploration, extraction, beneficiation (processing to increase the concentration of the desired mineral), and transportation of the raw materials to processing facilities or end-users.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for this industry include the natural mineral deposits, such as phosphate rock, potash, and various other chemical and fertilizer minerals. Additionally, the industry requires specialized mining equipment, energy sources, and skilled labor to carry out the extraction and processing operations.
Production outputs
The outputs of the mining of chemical and fertilizer minerals industry include a wide range of products, such as 2012 Manufacture of fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, 2013 Manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals, and 2021 Manufacture of pesticides and other agrochemical products. These materials are then used as key inputs for various downstream industries, contributing to the overall production of agricultural and chemical products.
