Use advice for data set When utilizing this data set for life cycle assessment, it is essential to consider the specific quality and composition of the hot metal produced. Users should account for regional variations in raw material quality, energy sources used in the process, and any emissions controls in place. Additionally, if the end-of-life recycling of the steel products is considered, the allocation of impacts between the primary production and recycling should be clearly stated, as this can significantly affect the results.
Technical purpose of product or process The process described pertains to the blast-furnace method of ironmaking, where raw materials such as sinter, pellets, lump ore, and scrap iron are used to produce hot metal (molten iron). This hot metal is primarily utilized in the steelmaking industry to produce various steel products, which are foundational materials for the manufacturing of automobiles, construction materials, appliances, and many other goods.
