Use advice for data set Users of this data set should be aware of its specific application in the context of environmental life cycle assessment of iron and steel production. Ensure to account for regional differences in production processes, and consider updates in technology that could affect the accuracy of the data. Users should also carefully model the end-of-life phase, particularly the potential for recycling the steel produced, and apply appropriate allocation methods for any shared processes. When using the data for comparative assessments, ensure consistent system boundaries and assumptions are applied.
Technical purpose of product or process The process described is used in the metallurgical industry, specifically in blast-furnace ironmaking. This process involves reducing iron ore into hot metal (molten iron) using a blast furnace, which is the initial step in producing steel. The feedstock for this process includes sinter, pellets, lump ore, and scrap metal. The data set likely represents the environmental impact of producing hot metal using these inputs.
