Use advice for data set Users of this LCA data set should ensure they apply the data to processes and products where fire-refined cathode copper is relevant. The data reflects an average ore grade sourced from 2009 to 2013 and may require updating to reflect current mining conditions. Special attention should be given to the methodological alignment when integrating this data into broader environmental impact assessments. Specifically, users should consider the technological applicability and potential variances in regional mining practices, as well as closely adhere to the CML methodology for characterizing pollution emissions. The data set corresponds to the functional unit of 1 ton of cathode copper production and must be scaled appropriately for different applications.

Data set use approval

General comment Cathode copper obtained through this industrial process is primarily used for electrical wiring, roofing, plumbing, and industrial machinery. It serves as a key raw material in electrical engineering, construction, transport manufacturing, and other heavy industries, due to its high electrical conductivity and durability. Given that the copper was obtained by pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy from ore averages in China between 2009 and 2013, this cathode copper suits large-scale applications where high purity and quality are essential.
