Petrochemical manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is potassium nitrate production. The Reference Product is potassium nitrate. Potassium nitrate is an inorganic substance with a CAS no. : 007757-79-1. It is called potassium;nitrate under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: KNO3. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and it has no odor. 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: fertilisers, cosmetics and personal care products, anti-freeze products and washing & cleaning products. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on industrial sites. Based on EU regulations (REGULATION (EU) 2019/1009), if this substance would be used as fertiliser, it could be labelled as N-P-K of: (14-0-39). 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/23940/documentation
