Emission factor summary

Process description: The emulsion polymerization of butadiene and styrene produces the main product styrene-butadiene rubber (emulsion). For this purpose, the process consumes sulfuric acid, caustic soda (50%), hydrochloric acid, calcium oxide, butadiene, sodium chloride, deionized water, styrene, and soap. Utilities consumed comprise cooling water, steam, electricity, inert gas, unspecific organic chemical, unspecific inorganic chemical, cement, and disposal of cement. Dataset type is technology-specific (extension layer). Allocation type is no allocation needed in this unit process. In case of energy co-production, allocation via avoided burden is applied for the co-produced energy. CAS RN is 9003-55-8. All datasets are based on the attributional LCA approach and the methodology defined in the cm.chemicals methodology document.
