Description
This dataset is a market dataset representing the consumption market of the region. The dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumption end, and the transport service is calculated based on the transport situation of the product in the region. The product represented by this dataset is refined zinc, a high-purity zinc product prepared by refining or electrolytic distillation processing of crude zinc, with significant core characteristics: the zinc content reaches as high as 99.995%, with extremely low impurity content and outstanding purity advantages; the appearance is a metal block or ingot, with good ductility and electrical conductivity, and can be directly adapted to various terminal industrial application scenarios. Its upstream and downstream industry chains are closely connected: the upstream core raw material is crude zinc, and the distillation process requires supporting auxiliary materials such as heat-conducting media and purifying auxiliaries; the downstream application fields are wide, directly used in metallurgical processing, chemical product synthesis, alloy manufacturing and galvanizing protection and other industrial scenarios, supporting the development of automotive, electronics, new energy, construction, shipbuilding and other key industrial fields, making it one of the core terminal products of the lead-zinc smelting industry chain. The entire production process focuses on the distillation stage, covering the entire high-purity conversion process from the input of crude zinc to the output of the refined zinc product. The dataset includes the main raw and auxiliary materials, energy and waste of the production process, while infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and plant construction is not included within the dataset boundary; the data inventory is formed by merging data from multiple sources.
Activity Description
The entire production process includes the distillation process, covering the entire process from crude zinc to refined zinc.
Process Description
Refined zinc is a high-purity zinc product obtained by refining or electrolytic distillation of crude zinc. The zinc content is 99.995% and the impurity content is extremely low. It is in the form of metal lumps or ingots. It has good ductility and conductivity and can be directly used for industrial purposes such as metallurgy, chemical industry, alloy manufacturing, and galvanizing.

Technology comment
The crude zinc is then sent to a distillation tower or electrolytic cell for refining. By controlling the temperature and pressure, impurities are separated through evaporation or deposition based on the boiling point difference between zinc and impurity elements, thereby further purifying the zinc and ultimately obtaining high-purity refined zinc.
