Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product 'iron scrap sorted pressed' is a solid waste under the category of industrial wastes. It is primarily generated in gold-silver mine operation and beneficiation or during waste treatment processes. 'iron scrap sorted pressed' contain the following fractions: 100% sorted pressed iron scrap. By the database default (and per unit of reference product) 'iron scrap sorted pressed' has 0% water on wet mass basis (100% dry matter) and it has no Carbon content. It has no heating value. This kind of by-product (recyclable or waste) is generated from ordinary transforming activities and as such can be considered for modelling waste outputs of comparable composition. In the ecoinvent database this by-product is used in the following processes: cast iron production; ferroniobium production from pyrochlore concentrate 66% Nb; iron (III) chloride production product in 40% solution state; iron-nickel-chromium alloy production; ortho-phenylene diamine production; para-phenylene diamine production; steel production converter low-alloyed; steel production converter unalloyed; steel production electric chromium steel 18/8; steel production electric low-alloyed; titanium dioxide production sulfate process; zinc oxide production. This by-product can be modelled on two levels: treatment activity and market activity. The former one refers to the specific technology treating the by-product while the latter level represents a mix of treatments. Users are encouraged to inspect the modelling assumptions of the treatment activities and when selecting the market to additionally inspect the treatment mix. Collection and transportation of this by-product is accounted in the respective market activity users are advised to inspect and modify the average transportation distances for a case specific modelling.
