Use advice for data set Users of this lifecycle inventory data set for average rare earth oxide from Bayan Obo should incorporate the data within an attributional modeling framework for assessing environmental impacts, preferably using the CML2002 method (CML 2015) or similar. Users should consider the eleven mid-point impact categories selected to understand the full environmental impact. Additionally, note that this data set is constructed to reflect average conditions and does not account for specific REO production chains or individual methods involved in metal refining. Those seeking detailed insights into particular REO production chains or metal refining should refer to supporting information S1 on the Web, which includes in-depth descriptions of the processes, LCI, and modeling data used.

Data set use approval

General comment The rare earth oxides (REO) produced from the Bayan Obo mine are utilized for a wide range of applications, including the manufacture of magnets, catalysts, alloys, glass, and ceramics. These oxides are key in the production of high-tech devices such as smartphones, computer hard drives, and electric vehicles due to their unique magnetic, luminescent, and electrochemical properties. Specifically, the 1 kg REO at 100% purity described in the lifecycle inventory is typically used in applications requiring high levels of purity, such as advanced electronics, research, and specialized industrial processes.
