Propylene oxide (made by production mix for propylene oxide)

Process description: The production mix for propylene oxide is based on: 42.17% hydroperoxide process with ethylbenzene (Shell), 33.13% epoxidation of propylene (BASF-Dow), 19.28% hydroperoxide process with cumene (Sumitomo), and 5.42% chlorohydrin process. Dataset type is production mix. Allocation type is In this dataset, no allocation has been performed, as the dataset represents a production mix consisting of various process technologies. The allocation procedure of the individual process technologies is reported in the individual technology-specific datasets of the respective processes. CAS RN is 75-56-9. All datasets are based on the attributional LCA approach and the methodology defined in the cm.chemicals methodology document.
