Phosphoric acid - industrial grade - without water - in 85% solution state (purification of wet-process phosphoric acid to industrial grade - product in 85% solution state)

The activity generating the emissions is purification of wet-process phosphoric acid to industrial grade, product in 85% solution state. The Reference Product is phosphoric acid, industrial grade, without water, in 85% solution state. Phosphoric acid, industrial grade, without water, in 85% solution state is an inorganic substance with a CAS no. : 007664-38-2. It is called phosphoric acid under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: H3O4P. It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure and it has no odor. This dataset represents a pure substance (100% active substance). Industrially, this product is mostly used in 85% solution state. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. To achieve the industrial grade, the fertiliser grade phosphoric acid is purified using solvent to remove impurities. Due to the sulfuric acid added during the extraction, a high yield is achieved: it is about 98% (in % of P2O5 input). On a consumer level, is used in the following products: fertilisers, polishes and waxes, washing & cleaning products and welding & soldering products. There is no publicly available information about the consumption of this substance on industrial sites. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/8889/documentation
