Reference year 2008
Name
Aluminum ingot casting ; Primary aluminum ingot ; Liquid primary aluminum
Use advice for data set When utilizing the data related to the primary aluminum ingot casting process, attention should be paid to the methodological consistency with the inventory data sources. Users need to consider the statistical nature of the data provided by the Nonferrous Metals Industry Yearbook, in addition to the specific technological data from typical enterprise production processes and technical indicators. Pollution emissions data from specific production stages should include internal enterprise statistical data and relevant research findings from referenced literature to ensure accurate impact assessment in LCA studies.
Technical purpose of product or process The primary aluminum ingot casting process described here is utilized for the production of virgin aluminum ingots from liquid primary aluminum. These ingots are typically used in a variety of applications including automotive, construction, electrical, and packaging industries. They form the raw material for further processing into aluminum products such as sheets, extrusions, cables, and foils.

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.
