Description

The carbon anodes produced by the aluminum electrolysis process, using petroleum coke as a raw material, are specifically intended for use in primary aluminum production. The anodes function as key components in the electrolytic cells, where they facilitate the electrical current required for the aluminum smelting process. In utilizing this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment, users should ensure to account for any emissions related to the production stage of the carbon anodes and include the energy consumption data. Consideration should also be given to potential environmental impacts sourced from statistical data featured in industrial yearbooks and supplemented with specific process and technical data from typified enterprises within the industry. Users must include these factors in the overall life cycle impact analysis to determine the process sustainability accurately.
