Emission factor summary
The activity generating the emissions is market for basic oxygen furnace slag, for recovery. The Reference Product is basic oxygen furnace slag, for recovery. Slag is a by-product of the steelmaking process that is produced during the smelting process. Slags are principally composed of impurities in the charge and inert materials that are added in the beginning of the steelmaking process. Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slags are typically recovered for use internally or externally (e.g. as an aggregate), although a portion may be landfilled or stockpilled. This represents high grade material that is sent for recovery. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is Recyclable. The activity type is market activity.
