Use advice for data set When utilizing this dataset, attention should be given to the specific ironmaking process as variations exist in furnace inputs and operational efficiencies. It is essential to consider the technological applicability; for instance, the data is pertinent to blast-furnace operations producing hot metal and may not be applicable to direct reduction or other ironmaking technologies. Methodological advice includes ensuring appropriate allocation of environmental loads for co-products or by-products and considering upstream impacts from raw material extraction.
Technical purpose of product or process The described industrial process refers to the production of hot metal or pig iron using a blast furnace. The inputs for the furnace include sinter, pellets, lump ore, and scrap iron. This ironmaking process is fundamental in the steel industry as a precursor to steelmaking. The produced hot metal is primarily used for further conversion into steel, often via basic oxygen or electric arc furnace methods.
