The process data set represents the beneficiation stage of iron ore mining where the ore is processed to increase its iron content and reduce contaminants, preparing it for smelting. It is applicable for the production of various grades of iron ore used in the steel manufacturing industry. When using this data set for Life Cycle Assessment purposes, include it within the raw material acquisition phase of the steel production lifecycle, ensuring that subsequent processes such as transportation, smelting, and potential recycling are modeled separately. The dataset reflects a specific single operation within Plant Z4, so variations in the beneficiation process across different facilities should be considered if generalized data is required.
