Use advice for data set
When integrating this dataset into a Life Cycle Assessment, special consideration should be given to the geographic specificity of the nickel-copper-cobalt ore originating from Xinjiang Province, as the environmental impacts may differ significantly from other regions. Users should also consider the upstream impacts of mining and concentration, as well as the downstream effects on recycling and waste treatment associated with this production process. Exclusion criteria must be defined clearly to avoid double-counting, especially when considering the potential for closed-loop recycling within the nickel industry.

General comment
The system boundary of the electrolytic nickel production was established via a cradle-to-gate approach. Three stages, namely, the mining and beneficiation stages, the pyrometallurgical stage, and the refining stage, were investigated.

Technical purpose
The high nickel matte production process described involves the utilization of nickel-copper mixed concentrates through pyrometallurgical methods. This high-grade nickel product is primarily used in the manufacturing of stainless steel, rechargeable batteries, and special alloys. It plays a critical role in the production of materials that demand corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance.
