This dataset represents the production of aluminium sulfate in the region of Québec. The functional unit represent 1 kg of aluminium sulfate (Al2(SO4)3). The final product is however sold in a 4.33% aluminium solution state, which corresponds to 8.18% Al2O3, 27.45% Al2(SO4)3 or 47.69% solid aluminium sulfate (if the hydrated aluminium sulfate form is assumed to be Al2(SO4)3.14H2O).
Undefined unit processes (UPRs) are the unlinked, multi-product activity datasets that form the basis for all of the system models available in the ecoinvent database. This is the way the datasets are obtained and entered into the database by the data providers. These activity datasets are useful for investigating the environmental impacts of a specific activity (gate-to-gate), without regard to its upstream or downstream impacts.
