Process description: The chlorination of toluene produces the main product p-chlorotoluene. For this purpose, the process consumes caustic soda (50%), chlorine, chloroform, toluene, aluminum chloride, and sulfur monochloride. Utilities consumed comprise cooling water, steam, electricity, and process water. Dataset type is technology-specific (extension layer). Allocation type is allocation via mass. In case of energy co-production, allocation via avoided burden is applied for the co-produced energy. CAS RN is 106-43-4. All datasets are based on the attributional LCA approach and the methodology defined in the cm.chemicals methodology document.
