Description
Sulfuric acid can be used in the manufacturing of chemicals, metals, pulp, paper and paper products, food, and metal products; the production activities of this product are based on a weighted average of "Sulfuric acid, from the production process of zinc-aluminum alloy", "Sulfuric acid, from the production process of alloy zinc ingot", "Sulfuric acid, from the production process of zinc-aluminum-magnesium ingot", "Sulfuric acid, 98%, produced from smelting flue gas", "Sulfuric acid, 98%, produced from pyrite ore", and "Sulfuric acid, via contact process, from sulfur". If the specific production process of sulfuric acid cannot be clearly identified, this dataset can be used, and further technical details, system boundaries, and related information can be referenced from various sulfuric acid production methods. The dataset does not include infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and facility construction within its system boundaries.
