Manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals

NACE v2.1 Code: C20.13

About manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals

NACE code 20.13 covers the manufacture of a wide range of inorganic chemicals, which are essential building blocks for numerous industries. These chemicals serve as key inputs for the production of a diverse array of products, from pharmaceuticals and fertilizers to cleaning agents and construction materials. The industry's importance lies in its ability to supply the fundamental chemical components that enable the functioning of many vital sectors within the broader economy.

Production process

The manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals typically involves a range of chemical processes, including electrolysis, distillation, and various reaction techniques. These processes are designed to extract, purify, and transform raw materials into the desired inorganic compounds. Advanced technologies, such as continuous flow reactors and automated control systems, are often employed to ensure efficient and consistent production.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals include various mineral resources, such as salt, sulfur, and phosphates, as well as energy sources like electricity and natural gas. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, including reactors, distillation columns, and filtration systems, to facilitate the complex chemical transformations required for production.

Production outputs

The outputs of this industry encompass a diverse array of inorganic chemicals, including acids, bases, salts, and other compounds. These products find applications in a wide range of downstream industries, such as 20.14 Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals, 20.15 Manufacture of fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, and 20.41 Manufacture of soap and detergents, cleaning and polishing preparations. The versatility of these inorganic chemicals ensures their integration into numerous manufacturing processes and their importance in the broader chemical industry.
