Mining of chemical and fertiliser minerals
NACE v2.0 Code: B08.91
About mining of chemical and fertiliser minerals
NACE code 08.91 covers the mining and extraction of chemical and fertiliser minerals, a critical industry that plays a vital role in the broader economy. These activities involve the extraction and processing of raw materials essential for the production of various chemical compounds, fertilizers, and other industrial products. The industry's output serves as a crucial input for numerous downstream sectors, contributing to the development and growth of diverse industries.
Production process
The mining of chemical and fertiliser minerals typically involves a combination of surface and underground extraction methods. Depending on the specific mineral deposits, techniques such as open-pit mining, shaft mining, or solution mining may be employed. The extracted raw materials then undergo various processing steps, which may include crushing, grinding, washing, and beneficiation, to concentrate the desired minerals and prepare them for further industrial applications.
Production inputs
The primary inputs required for the mining of chemical and fertiliser minerals include the natural mineral deposits themselves, as well as the necessary machinery and equipment for extraction, processing, and transportation. This may include excavators, drilling rigs, conveyor systems, and processing plants. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, energy sources, and transportation infrastructure to facilitate the movement of raw materials to downstream consumers.
Production outputs
The mining of chemical and fertiliser minerals produces a range of outputs, including various mineral concentrates, salts, and other chemical compounds. These outputs serve as essential inputs for the production of 20.15 Manufacture of fertilisers and nitrogen compounds, 20.13 Manufacture of other inorganic basic chemicals, and 20.14 Manufacture of other organic basic chemicals, among other industries. The industry's products are crucial for the manufacturing of fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and a wide array of other industrial and consumer goods.
