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 zinc concentrate, a core intermediate mineral product obtained from zinc raw ore through a professional beneficiation process, with significant core characteristics: with the main zinc-bearing minerals as the core component, accompanied by a small amount of impurities such as lead, iron and copper, and a zinc grade as high as 49.56%, far higher than that of zinc raw ore, with outstanding enrichment; it appears as grey-black or dark grey granules, with a regular physical form, easy to handle, store and undergo subsequent smelting and processing. Its upstream and downstream industry chains are closely connected: the upstream core raw material is zinc raw ore, and downstream is the zinc smelting industry, serving as the core raw material for smelting processes such as sintering and melting, used for the efficient extraction of metallic zinc, widely supporting the development of multiple key industrial fields such as metallurgy, automotive, electronics, new energy and construction, being the key intermediate carrier connecting zinc raw ore and metallic zinc products in the zinc metallurgy industry chain. The entire production process focuses on the beneficiation stage, with the full process covering the entire enrichment conversion process from the input of zinc raw ore to the output of finished zinc concentrate. The dataset includes the main raw and auxiliary materials, energy and waste of the production process; 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 zinc beneficiation process, covering the entire process from zinc raw ore to zinc concentrate.
Process Description
Zinc concentrate is a mineral product enriched through the mineral processing process. It mainly contains zinc minerals and may be accompanied by a small amount of impurities such as lead, iron, and copper. Zinc concentrate is generally gray-black or dark gray granular and is easy to transport and store. Its grade is 49.56%, which is much higher than that of raw ore.

Technology comment
The zinc beneficiation process mainly includes processes such as crushing, grinding, flotation and drying. By separating larger coarse particles, zinc is enriched to obtain high-grade zinc concentrate.
