Key Data Set Information
Location CN
Reference year 2011
Name
Aluminum electrolysis carbon anode production ; carbon anode ; prebaked ; petroleum coke
Use advice for data set When utilizing this data set for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of aluminum products, consider the aluminum production process as the dominant environmental impact factor due to substantial resource consumption, energy use, and waste emissions. Focus the LCA boundaries from bauxite mining to primary aluminum production, encompassing bauxite extraction, alumina production, anode production, and the aluminum electrolysis process. Exclude the extraction, production, and transportation processes of comparatively minor auxiliary materials such as limestone and bitumen from the assessment system.
Technical purpose of product or process The prebaked carbon anode production using petroleum coke is intended for use in the aluminum electrolysis process. This high-grade consumable is critical in the conversion of alumina to primary aluminum metal by serving as a key component in the electrolytic reactions that occur within aluminum smelters.
