Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is magnesium chloride, from titanium sponge production, Recycled Content cut-off. The Reference Product is magnesium chloride, from titanium sponge production. This product represents magnesium chloride that is produced during the production of titanium sponge using the Kroll process. The reduction and distillation step consists of the following reaction: TiCl4 + 2Mg -> Ti + 2MgCl2. The magnesium chloride produced from this reaction is sent to an electrolysis process, which recovers part of the magnesium and chlorine. This product should not be used in any other context. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is Recyclable. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
