| Use advice for data set | Users of the LCA data set for aluminum electrolytic capacitor production should exercise caution when interpreting the environmental impacts due to the omission of specialized treating processes of production waste in the life cycle inventory (LCI). The underestimation of environmental impacts of certain chemicals attributed to estimated LCI data and unaccounted side reactions should be acknowledged. When using this LCA data, assessors should consider these limitations and possibly adjust the evaluation accordingly, especially if these conditions differ from those prevalent in the setting being assessed. Furthermore, due to simplified assumptions in the composition of the electrolyte, the data users should take note that the environmental effects could be underestimated and that they should seek more detailed data where available for higher accuracy. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, specifically rated at 25V 1000uf, as described in the data set, are commonly integrated into electronic devices that require stable and long-lasting energy storage solutions. Their applications include power supply smoothing, filtering, or energy storage in consumer electronics, such as audio equipment, computers, and telecommunications devices, as well as in industrial and automotive electronics where higher voltage and larger capacitance are often necessary. |
