Use advice for data set When utilizing this data set for Life Cycle Assessment, it is critical to ensure that the scope of analysis is consistent with the operational unit specifically identified as Z3. Users should account for any upstream or downstream processes associated with the production of hot metal if they fall outside the specified Z3 process. Additionally, methodological considerations such as allocation of impacts between co-products or by-products and handling of scrap metal inputs should be addressed in accordance to the goal and scope of the LCA study. If this data is to be used for comparative purposes, it should be done so with data sets of the same technological level and temporal applicability.
Technical purpose of product or process The described process refers to the production of hot metal or molten iron using a blast furnace. This process typically utilizes mixtures of sinter, pellets, lump ore, and scrap metal. The produced hot metal is primarily used as a raw material for further steelmaking processes. This facility-specific data set pertains to a single operational unit identified as Z3 within a factory known for its ironmaking processes.
