Description

This dataset describes the industrial process of calcining petroleum coke for the production of aluminum electrolytic carbon anodes. Calcined petroleum coke is commonly used as a raw material to produce carbon anodes essential for the aluminum smelting industry. The calcined coke provides the necessary carbon for the electrolysis process in aluminum production. When using this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment, ensure that it accurately reflects the production process for the specific geographic region and technology used. Take into account the energy sources and emissions from the calcining process. If modeled as part of a product's life cycle, also consider the end-of-life phase, including potential recycling of materials. Pay attention to methodological consistency with other data used in the assessment.
