Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for titanium, triple-melt. The reference product is titanium, triple-melt. Titanium, triple-melt 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 melted three times to achieve higher purity. 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: mainly used to produce parts for the aerospace sector. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary market activity.
