Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product 'titanium' is a metal. It is a chemical element and a transition metal with a silver colour known for its high strength-to-weight ratio. It is mainly produced via the Kroll process where titanium dioxide is transformed to titanium tetrachloride through the addition of petroleum coke and chlorine (chlorination and purification process) and then reduced to pure titanium metal by adding magnesium (vacuum distillation process). It can be used in the following applications and/or processes: as an alloying element and milled products used in the industrial and aerospace sectors. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
