Other concrete product manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is quicklime production, milled, loose. The Reference Product is quicklime, milled, loose. The product "quicklime, milled, loose" represents 1 kg of milled quicklime produced by crushing, milling, filtering (cyclone), dedusting, transport by conveyor belt and storage. Quicklime is produced by the thermal decomposition of limestone. It consists mainly of calcium oxide (CaO), but has other components such as silicon dioxide (SiO2) and magnesium oxide (MgO). Its quality depends on many factors, including physical properties, degree of sintering and chemical composition. As the most readily available and cost effective alkali, quicklime plays an essential part in a wide variety of industrial processes. The difference between clinker and quicklime used for products in the binding agent industry is mainly the calcination temperature which is a maximum of 1450ºC for clinker and a maximum of 1200ºC for quicklime. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/3374/documentation
