The activity generating the emissions is market for magnesium chloride, from titanium sponge production. The reference product is magnesium chloride, from titanium sponge production. This product represents magnesium chloride that is produced during the production of titanium sponge using the Kroll process. The reduction and distillation step consists of the following reaction: TiCl4 + 2Mg -> Ti + 2MgCl2.  The magnesium chloride produced from this reaction is sent to an electrolysis process, which recovers part of the magnesium and chlorine. This product should not be used in any other context. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is Recyclable. The activity type is ordinary market activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/24705/documentation.

Emission intensity of the supply chain per Canadian dollar spent on: basic organic chemicals. Retrieved from the OpenIO-Canada v2.9 model which is a Canadian Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model. The emission factor is provided in purchaser price including taxes retail margins and distribution costs. Endogenization is included meaning the emission factor also accounts for capital goods.
