Key Data Set Information
Location CN
Reference year 2022
Name
Aluminum electrolysis carbon anode production ; carbon anode ; petroleum coke
Use advice for data set The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data set for aluminum electrolysis carbon anode production must be applied in accordance with the defined goal, scope, and system boundaries. Ensure the inclusion of all relevant input and output data for each life cycle stage, as summarized from the specified standards, yearbooks, and related materials. When utilizing this data, consider the technological applicability such as the specific type of aluminum smelting process being used and the quality of the anode required. If the anode production involves recycling of materials, the methodological approach for accounting for recycling must be consistent with the defined system boundaries.
Technical purpose of product or process The carbon anodes produced through aluminum electrolysis using petroleum coke are utilized primarily in the aluminum smelting industry. These anodes serve as a key component in the electrolytic reduction of alumina to aluminum, a critical process in producing metallic aluminum.
