| Use advice for data set | Users of this dataset should pay attention to the scope of application, which is limited to the extraction and processing phase ('cradle') of bauxite up until 2017. When using this data, consider that the methodological approach includes statistical data for PA and SA (process analysis and sensitivity analysis respectively) and an extensive background LCA database, CAS RCEES 2018, localized to Chinese conditions. This information is critical for those applying this dataset to ensure that the context of technological and environmental impacts remain applicable and valid for the intended LCA scope. Users should also pay attention to the date of publication and sourcing of the data to assess if the dataset requires updating or if more recent data should be sought. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | This dataset pertains to the mining of bauxite ore, which is the primary raw material used in the production of alumina (Al2O3) and subsequently in the manufacture of aluminium through electrolysis. The bauxite extracted through this industrial process can be used in multiple sectors including, but not limited to, the aluminum production industry, refractory materials, and abrasives. The data set represents information relevant up to the stage of extracted bauxite, typically referred to as the 'cradle' stage in Life Cycle Assessment terms. |
