Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product 'cobalt' is a metal. It is ferromagnetic with hard lustrous bluish gray appearance and it is a transition metal. It is the direct product from mining and beneficiation and a by-product from primary zinc production from concentrate. It can be used in the following applications and/or processes: alloys production magnets and magnetic recording media as catalysts for petroleum and chemical industries as drying agents for paints and inks. Cobalt blue is an important part of artists' palette and is used by craft workers in porcelain pottery stained glass tiles and enamel jewellery. The radioactive isotopes cobalt-60 is used in medical treatment and also to irradiate food in order to preserve the food and protect the consumer. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
