| Use advice for data set | When using this data set in a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), special attention should be given to the carbon emission factor related to the production of carbon anodes. It is essential to apply this data accordingly in the context of the LCA's goal and scope. Make sure to update the data with the most recent emission factors and peer-reviewed literature available to ensure accuracy. Consider the technological applicability of the anodes concerning the expected life span, efficiency, and potential recycling at the end of life. Inclusion or exclusion of these factors may impact LCA results significantly. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The carbon anodes produced in this process are utilized in the aluminum electrolysis industry. These anodes are critical components of aluminum smelters, which use the Hall-Héroult process to extract aluminum from alumina. The primary material for the carbon anode is petroleum coke, which is known for its high carbon content and electrical conductivity. |
