Other non-ferrous metal production
NACE v2.0 Code: C24.45
About other non-ferrous metal production
NACE code 24.45, 'Other non-ferrous metal production', encompasses a vital industry within the broader manufacturing sector. This industry is responsible for the extraction, refining, and processing of a range of non-ferrous metals, including aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, and precious metals. These materials play a crucial role in numerous downstream industries, contributing to the development of essential products and infrastructure that support the global economy.
Production process
The production of non-ferrous metals typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw ores are extracted from mines or other sources. These ores are then subjected to various beneficiation techniques, such as crushing, grinding, and flotation, to concentrate the desired metal content. The concentrated ores are then smelted, often using high-temperature furnaces, to separate the pure metal from impurities. Finally, the refined metal is cast into ingots, sheets, or other forms, ready for further processing or use in manufacturing.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the non-ferrous metal production industry include raw mineral ores, energy sources (such as electricity or natural gas) to power the smelting and refining processes, and specialized machinery and equipment for mining, beneficiation, and metal processing. Additionally, this industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metallurgy, engineering, and process optimization.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the non-ferrous metal production industry are the refined and processed metals, such as 24.42 Aluminium production, 24.43 Lead, zinc and tin production, and 24.44 Copper production. These metals are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 25.11 Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures, 27.20 Manufacture of batteries and accumulators, and 29.10 Manufacture of motor vehicles.
