Description

Insulating agents are used as thermal insulation materials in the production of steel, iron, and other metals. This dataset includes primary raw materials, auxiliary materials, and energy consumption in the production process; however, infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is not within the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data sourced from multiple references. The production process of insulating agents includes mixing raw materials and additives, calcination, and other processing steps.

Activity Description

The production activities of this product include processes such as mixing raw materials and additives, and firing.

Process Description

Insulation agent (carbonized rice husk) refers to a carbonized material formed by heating rice husks below their ignition temperature to achieve incomplete combustion. Its main components are carbon and silicon dioxide, produced from carbonized rice husks. This product can be used industrially as a thermal insulation material in steel, iron, and similar production processes.
