Petrochemical manufacturing

The activity generating the emissions is propylene oxide production, from isobutene, PO/TBA process. The Reference Product is tert-butanol. Tert-butanol is an organic substance with a CAS no. : 75-65-0. It is called 2-methylpropan-2-ol under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C4H10O. It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure is a colorless oily liquid with a sharp alcohol odor The substance 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. There are no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on a consumer level. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: primarily used as a solvent and for introducing the tert-butyl group in compounds like tert-butylphenol and trinitro-tert-butyltoluene, has applications in peroxide production and as a gasoline additive to prevent carburetor freezing, though its use as an antiknock agent has declined since 1997 due to environmental concerns and the rise of bioethanol. 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/276608/documentation
