Use advice for data set Users of this dataset should pay attention to the specific methodological guidelines that are applicable to the ironmaking process. This includes the correct allocation of environmental burdens in cases where scrap iron is used as a feedstock since it involves considerations of recycling and the previous life-cycle stages of the scrap material. The dataset user should also ensure that the technological applicability of the data fits the regional technology level and environmental regulations influencing the emissions and energy use of the blast furnace process. It is advised to use this dataset for LCA studies in alignment with the geographically and technologically relevant conditions of the Z13 industrial process.
Technical purpose of product or process This dataset represents the process of producing hot metal through blast-furnace ironmaking. Blast furnaces are used to reduce and convert iron oxides into liquid iron called 'hot metal'. The raw materials used in this process are sinter, pellets, lump ore, and scrap iron. This hot metal is primarily utilized as a raw material for producing various types of steel in steelmaking facilities. Additionally, the production of hot metal in a blast furnace is a critical unit process in the iron and steel industry and is commonly applied in plants with the same process name 'Z13'.
