Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If refined into chlorides of aluminum
Purified salts become Chapter 28 chemicals.
If leaded residues from incineration
Chapter notes route incineration products to 2621.
If coarse iron ore pellets mistaken for residue
Ore vs. slag distinction; statistical notes define coarse.
