Petrochemical manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is magnesium chloride, from zirconium sponge production, Recycled Content cut-off. The reference product is magnesium chloride, from zirconium sponge production. This product represents magnesium chloride that is produced during the production of zirconium sponge using the Kroll process. The reduction and distillation step consists of the following reaction: ZrCl4 + 2Mg -> Zr + 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 ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/26209/documentation.
