The sinter production process referenced by this dataset is used in the iron and steel manufacturing industry. It involves the agglomeration of fine particles of iron ore, known as powder ore, into a coarse-grained sinter ready for the blast furnace. This sinter serves as a raw material for ironmaking and is an essential step in the production of steel. When using this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment, it is important to consider the specific context of the sinter production, including its technological applicability and the efficiency of the Z5 plant’s processing systems. Users should also account for possible variations in environmental impacts due to regional differences in the production process or energy sources. Inclusion or exclusion of downstream processes such as recycling should be considered based on the specific LCA framework and boundaries.
