Name
Aluminum ingot casting ; Primary aluminum ingot ; Liquid primary aluminum ; 2017
Use advice for data set This data set primarily provides LCA data for researchers and industrial practitioners focusing on the environmental impact of the aluminum production process. Users should take into account that the primary aluminum (PA) data are based on statistical sources, secondary aluminum (SA) data are drawn from literature, and the background data are derived from the CAS RCEES 2018, a Chinese localized LCA database. When applying this data, attention should be paid to methodological choices such as system boundaries, inclusion or exclusion of recycling processes in assessment, and region-specific environmental impacts. The technological applicability of this data is current as of 2017 and users should verify the relevance of the data against current standards and practices.
Technical purpose of product or process The primary aluminum ingot casting process described in this data set is utilized in the production of high-purity aluminum ingots from liquid primary aluminum. These aluminum ingots are essential in various industries for their superior conductive properties and are commonly employed in the manufacture of electrical components, construction materials, and transportation vehicles.

Data selection and combination principles The data in this study refers to the LCA data of PA, SA, electricity, and other background data. The PA data were obtained from statistical data sources, and the SA data were mainly obtained from the literatures. The background data were mainly derived from the Chinese localization LCA database CAS RCEES 2018, which was established by the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences and covers LCA data for energy, materials, transportation, waste management etc.
