Lead, zinc and tin production
NACE v2.0 Code: C24.43
About lead, zinc and tin production
NACE code 24.43 covers the production of lead, zinc, and tin, which are essential metals used in a wide range of industries. These base metals play a crucial role in the global economy, serving as key inputs for manufacturing, construction, transportation, and various other sectors. The lead, zinc, and tin production industry is a significant contributor to economic growth and development, providing essential materials for the production of a diverse range of products.
Production process
The production of lead, zinc, and tin typically involves several key steps. The process often begins with the mining and extraction of the raw ores, which are then processed through smelting and refining techniques to extract the pure metals. Smelting involves the use of high temperatures to separate the metals from impurities, while refining further purifies the metals to meet specific quality standards. Advanced technologies and techniques are employed to ensure efficient and environmentally responsible production.
Production inputs
The lead, zinc, and tin production industry relies on a range of inputs, including raw ores, energy sources (such as electricity and fuel), and specialized equipment and machinery. The availability and quality of the raw ores are critical, as they determine the potential output and the overall efficiency of the production process. Additionally, the industry requires significant investments in infrastructure, including smelting and refining facilities, as well as transportation networks to move the raw materials and finished products.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the lead, zinc, and tin production industry are the refined metals themselves, which are then used as inputs for a variety of other industries. Lead, for example, is commonly used in the production of batteries, while zinc is used in galvanization and the manufacture of brass and bronze. Tin is widely used in the production of tin cans, solder, and various alloys. The outputs of this industry are consumed by a range of NACE codes, including 25.11 Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures, 27.20 Manufacture of batteries and accumulators, and 25.99 Manufacture of other fabricated metal products n.e.c..
