The first step in REO production is mining, wherein crude ore is blasted and transported for further refining. Crude ore abstracted from the Bayan Obo mine is composed of both monazite and bastnasite.</technologyDescriptionAndIncludedProcesses>
			<technologyDescriptionAndIncludedProcesses xml:lang="zh">REO 生产的工艺链包括采矿，然后是选矿、煅烧、提取和焙烧阶段，见图 2。REO 生产的第一步是采矿，其中原矿石被爆破并运输以进一步精炼。从白云鄂博矿开采的原矿石由独居石和氟碳铈矿组成。</technologyDescriptionAndIncludedProcesses>

			<useAdviceForDataSet xml:lang="en">Users of this LCA data set should primarily apply the market-value-based allocation method recommended by the metals industry to partition environmental impacts among the different types of REOs produced. Additionally, specific attention should be given to the technological stages within the process chain, namely mining, beneficiation, calcination, extraction, and roasting. Users are advised to use Chinese-specific life cycle data when available to reflect regional environmental impact accurately. However, if not available, European life cycle inventory (LCI) data sets can be used as a substitute. When using the data set to evaluate the production of individual REEs or REE-based technologies and products, the conservative nature of the LCA results should be considered.</useAdviceForDataSet>
			<useAdviceForDataSet xml:lang="zh">使用这一LCA数据集的用户应主要采用金属行业推荐的基于市场价值的分配方法来划分生产的不同REOs之间的环境影响。 此外，应特别注意工艺链内的技术阶段，即采矿、选矿、煅烧、提取和焙烧。 建议用户在中国特定的生命周期数据可用时使用，以精确地反映区域环境影响。 但是，如果没有可用的数据，可以使用欧洲生命周期清单（LCI）数据集作为替代。 当使用数据集评估单个REE或基于REE的技术和产品的生产时，应考虑LCA结果的保守性。</useAdviceForDataSet>
