Petrochemical manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is amine oxides production. The Reference Product is amine oxides. Amine oxides are organic substances with an amine oxide polar head and an alkyl hydrophobic tail, the alkyl chain has between 8 and 20 C atoms. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. It is modelled as a pure substance. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. On a consumer level, is used in the following products: cleaning products and in the personal care products. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on industrial sites. 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/16531/documentation

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. Amine oxides are surfactants and are therefore used for cleaning products and in the personal care industry. These products are used as foam stabilizers, for thickening, emulsification, conditioning, and as emollients. These are usually used in a concentration up to 10%. Amine oxides are always sold in solution state, usually in water with concentration between 25 and 35% (OECD 2006). Reference: OECD SIDS 2006. SIDS Initial Assessment Report For SIAM 22 Paris, France, 18-21 April 2006. Retrieved from: webnet.oecd.org/hpv/ui/handler.axd?id=b50d7d1a-50d1-488a-97e4-9cc71005b1a1, accessed 2 February 2017. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
