This is a market dataset, representing the consumption market of the region. The dataset includes transport from the gate to the point of consumption, and transport services are calculated based on the transport situation of this product in the region. Battery-grade cobalt sulfate is mainly used to prepare the precursor of lithium battery positive electrode ternary materials (lithium nickel cobalt manganate); this dataset includes the main raw materials, auxiliaries, and energy used in the production process, as well as emissions to air (NOx, SO2, acid mist, dust) and water (COD, SS, and ammonia nitrogen). The production equipment manufacturing, plant construction, and other infrastructure are not included within the boundaries of the dataset; the data inventory is formed through the merger of data from multiple sources; Cobalt sulfate is processed from nickel cobalt ores and cobalt concentrates, and it specifically includes leaching, extraction, stripping, evaporation crystallization, and drying.
