Where 20.13.Z sits

1. C Industrial Processing
2. 20 Production of chemicals and chemical products
3. 20.1 Production of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms
4. 20.13 Production of other basic inorganic chemicals
5. 20.13.Z Production of other basic inorganic chemicals

What 20.13.Z includes

• This subclass covers the production of basic chemicals using basic processes. These processes typically result in isolated chemical elements and isolated chemically defined compounds.
• Production of chemical elements (excluding the production of industrial gases and basic metals),
• Production of inorganic acids, excluding nitric acid,
• Production of alkalis (lyes) and other inorganic compounds, excluding ammonia,
• Production of other inorganic compounds,
• Roasting of pyrites,
• Production of distilled water,
• Enrichment of uranium and thorium ores,
• Production of lithium hydroxide,
• Production of decolorizing agents.

What 20.13.Z excludes

• Manufacture of industrial gases, see 20.11.Z,
• Manufacture of nitrogen fertilizers and nitrogen mixtures, see 20.15.Z,
• Manufacture of ammonia and ammonium chloride, see 20.15.Z,
• Manufacture of potassium nitrate and nitrite, see 20.15.Z,
• Manufacture of ammonium carbonate, see 20.15.Z,
• Manufacture of aromatized distilled water, see 20.59.Z,
• Manufacture of basic metals, see appropriate subclasses of division 24.
