Description

The alumina produced through this industrial process is destined for metallurgical applications. It is particularly utilized in aluminum production as a raw material to produce primary aluminum via the electrolytic process. This high-grade alumina is suitable for the aluminum smelting industry and may be used in the manufacturing of various aluminum products including, but not limited to, construction materials, transportation components, packaging materials, and electrical conductors. When utilizing this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment of aluminum products, users should consider the specific type of alumina described, which is intended for metallurgical use. It is important to note the production method - the combined process based on bauxite - and integrate this information into the LCA model accurately. The dataset should be used carefully, ensuring that allocation methods are consistent with the defined system boundaries of the study. Any updates or changes in production technology or efficiency should be reflected in the data used.
