| Use advice for data set | This dataset, based on the production process of cathode copper from copper ore using hydrometallurgy in Southern China, reflects the average ore grade from 2009 to 2013. To properly apply this data, users must consider the system boundaries that encompass mining, transportation, heap leaching, extraction, and electrolytic refining. The data should only be applied in contexts that are consistent with the technological and temporal scope of the dataset. For environmental impact assessment, the functional unit is defined as the production of 1 ton of cathode copper, and appropriate indicators selected and evaluated using Simapro7.0 with CML methodology should be used. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Cathode copper produced through a hydrometallurgical process is utilized in various industrial applications due to its high purity and electrical conductivity. It serves as a fundamental component in the production of electronic goods, wiring, and plumbing materials. Specifically, it can be found within electrical circuits, motor manufacturing, and renewable energy systems such as solar panels and wind turbines. |
