Key Data Set Information
Location CN
Reference year 2008
Name
Aluminum electrolysis carbon anode production ; carbon anode ; petroleum coke
Use advice for data set In utilizing this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment, users should ensure to account for any emissions related to the production stage of the carbon anodes and include the energy consumption data. Consideration should also be given to potential environmental impacts sourced from statistical data featured in industrial yearbooks and supplemented with specific process and technical data from typified enterprises within the industry. Users must include these factors in the overall life cycle impact analysis to determine the process sustainability accurately.
Technical purpose of product or process The carbon anodes produced by the aluminum electrolysis process, using petroleum coke as a raw material, are specifically intended for use in primary aluminum production. The anodes function as key components in the electrolytic cells, where they facilitate the electrical current required for the aluminum smelting process.

Data selection and combination principles In this paper, the production of primary aluminum at all stages is based on the statistical data in the non-ferrous metal industry yearbook as the main reference basis. For some non-statistical process data, they come from the research of production process and technical indexes of typical enterprises ...... Pollution emission in specific production stages is based on the internal statistical data of enterprises obtained from the research and part of the research results from the literature are referred to.
