Pig iron (heavy mineral sand quarry operation and titania slag production)

The activity generating the emissions is heavy mineral sand quarry operation and titania slag production. The Reference Product is pig iron. Pig iron is a metal. Pig iron contains about 90-95% of elemental iron together with several other elements mainly carbon, silicon, phosphorus, manganese, and sulfur – in varying proportions depending on the compositions of the raw materials and the mode of an operating blast furnace. It is a transition metal. It is an intermediate product, generated by smelting iron ore in a blast furnace. It can be used in the following applications and/or processes: in an electric arc furnace for steelmaking, in foundries for producing ductile iron castings, in foundry pig iron in grey iron castings. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
