Other nonmetallic mineral products

The activity generating the emissions is ground granulated blast furnace slag production. The reference product is ground granulated blast furnace slag. The product "ground granulated blast furnace slag" represents the treatment of molten blast furnace slag, producing an output of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS, also referred to as slag cement). The ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is a by-product of iron manufacturing which when added to concrete improves its properties such as workability, strength and durability. This material is obtained by the heating of iron ore, limestone and coke at a temperature about 1500 degree Celsius. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. 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/3922/documentation.
