Use advice for data set When utilizing this data set, users should take into account that the provided information pertains to a single operational unit process at Plant Z1 under a specific name. It is critical to verify that the technological parameters of the described process match the user's intended application, especially if the data is to be integrated into wider Life Cycle Assessments. Considerations should include the efficiency and technological age of the furnace, the origin of raw materials, and the specific energy consumption. Users should also be aware of potential variations or updates in the process technology when applying this data to ensure accuracy and relevance.
Technical purpose of product or process The process described is associated with the production of hot metal through blast-furnace ironmaking. This process involves the transformation of iron ores (sinter, pellets, lump ore) and scrap metal into molten iron. It is typically used by the steel manufacturing industry as a primary step in the production of steel. This molten iron, or hot metal, is an essential raw material for steelmaking processes, particularly in integrated steel mills where it will be further processed into various steel products.
