Use advice for data set
When using this data set, it is critical to consider the specific year (2015) as the technology and energy efficiency may have evolved since then. As this data is region-specific (Chinese LCA context), it should be used for LCA studies within the corresponding geographical scope or with careful consideration for adjustment to represent other regions. For methodological consistency, users should note that PA data is derived from statistical data sources, SA data mainly from existing literature, and background data from the Chinese localised CAS RCEES 2018 database. Ensure that these data sources are compatible with the goal and scope of the LCA being conducted.
Data set use approval
General comment
This LCA data set represents the aluminum electrolysis process used to produce liquid primary aluminum with a prebaking step, using metallurgical grade alumina. The process is applicable to the synthesis of high-purity aluminum used in various industries, such as aerospace, transportation, electronics, and building materials. The primary aluminum produced through this process would typically be cast into ingots, billets, or other forms for further fabrication or direct use in manufacturing.
