| Use advice for data set | When using this data set for Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) of scandium oxide, it is crucial to apply the mass-based allocation principle as per the methodological advice provided. This entails giving appropriate consideration to scandium oxide as the main product and adequately allocating environmental impacts among the by-products, which include Fe concentrate, REs concentrate, S concentrate, Fluorite coarse ore, and Nb concentrate. Ensure that all inputs and outputs are accounted for over the entire production process, from cradle to gate, for the production of 1 kg of scandium oxide. Always refer to the Supporting Information for detailed allocation processes. |
