Nonferrous metal (except aluminum) smelting and refining

The activity generating the emissions is primary zinc production from concentrate. The Reference Product is sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is an inorganic substance with a CAS no. : 007664-93-9. It is called sulfuric acid under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: H2O4S. It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and appears in odourless form. 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: pH regulators and water treatment products, washing & cleaning products, metal surface treatment products, electrolytes for batteries and laboratory chemicals. On industrial sites, the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: mining. This substance is used for the manufacture of: chemicals, metals, pulp, paper and paper products, food products and fabricated metal products. 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/13430/documentation
