Reference year 2021
Name
Alumina production ; Alumina for metallurgy ; Bauxite ; 2010
Use advice for data set The LCA data provided is specific to the production of alumina for use in metallurgy as of 2010. Users must attribute the data accurately to the production phase of aluminum and take into consideration the regional aspects of the Chinese market. When applying the data, it should be ensured that it is relevant for the given time frame and applicable to the scale and location of the industrial process in question. Furthermore, updates in the CAS RCEES LCA database should be monitored for new or revised data that could affect the assessment.
Technical purpose of product or process Alumina produced from this process is intended for use in the metallurgy industry, particularly in the production of aluminum. The high purity alumina obtained from bauxite through this process is predominantly used for smelting aluminum metals.

Data selection and combination principles The data in this study refers to the LCA data of PA, SA, electricity, and other background data. The PA data were obtained from statistical data sources, and the SA data were mainly obtained from the literatures. The background data were mainly derived from the Chinese localization LCA database CAS RCEES 2018, which was established by the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences and covers LCA data for energy, materials, transportation, waste management etc.
