| Use advice for data set | When using this dataset, users must consider the specific conditions of the production such as geographic location, applied technologies and environmental regulations which may differ from the one referenced in the study. The mass allocation method has been used for environmental load quantification, and users should take this into account especially when comparing datasets with different allocation methods. Ensure that the dataset aligns with the goal and scope of the intended LCA. For comparison purposes, the functional unit should be maintained as 1 ton of toluene product. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Toluene produced via the naphtha route in an aromatics complex using the Arosa Grammar process is commonly used for the synthesis of benzene and xylene derivatives, which are precursors for various chemicals and polymers in the chemical industry. It is also utilized as an industrial solvent for paints, paint thinners, silicone sealants, chemical reactants, and in the production of pharmaceuticals and explosives. |
