Silicon tetrachloride (made by reaction of silicon and methylchloride)

Process description: The reaction of silicon and methylchloride produces the main product silicon tetrachloride. For this purpose, the process consumes chlorobenzene, methyl chloride, silicon metallurgical grade, acetonitrile, and copper. Utilities consumed comprise cooling water, thermal energy, and electricity. Dataset type is technology-specific (extension layer). Allocation type is allocation via price. In case of energy co-production, allocation via avoided burden is applied for the co-produced energy. CAS RN is 10026-04-7. All datasets are based on the attributional LCA approach and the methodology defined in the cm.chemicals methodology document.
