Key Data Set Information
Location CN
Reference year 2005
Name
Aluminum electrolysis and ingot casting ; Primary aluminum ingot ; Electrolysis 160kA autobaking tank process ; Alumina for metallurgy
Use advice for data set The data should be used with the understanding that it is based on literature reviews and some internal reports from the aluminum industry, making it representative and close to real-world conditions. Methodological considerations should include ensuring that the system boundaries are correctly defined for LCA studies, particularly with regard to recycling and any upstream and downstream processes associated with aluminum production.
Technical purpose of product or process The data set represents the production of primary aluminum ingots using the electrolysis 160kA autobaking tank process. This high purity aluminum is predominantly used in various industries including aerospace, transport, construction, and electronics for applications requiring materials with a high strength-to-weight ratio, conductivity, and corrosion resistance.
