Description
Ion exchange resins can be used for water softening and pure water preparation, as well as in hydrometallurgy, sugar refining, pharmaceuticals, monosodium glutamate production, and as catalysts and dehydrating agents. This dataset includes primary raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, atmospheric emissions, and waste generated during the production process; however, infrastructure such as production equipment and facility construction is not included within the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data from multiple sources. The production process of ion exchange resins includes raw material procurement, pure water production, white bead processing, sulfonation reaction, transformation and rinsing, and packaging.
Activity Description
