Included activities starts

The boundaries of production activities start from the raw and auxiliary material mining stage.

Included activities ends

The production activity boundary ends when sulfuric acid production is completed.

Description

This dataset represents sulfuric acid production from copper-smelting off-gas. Sulfur-dioxide-bearing smelting gas is converted to sulfuric acid through gas cleaning, drying, catalytic conversion, and absorption. The dataset includes the main raw and auxiliary materials, energy inputs, air emissions, and water emissions of the production process; infrastructure such as production-equipment manufacture and plant construction is outside the dataset boundary. The inventory combines data from multiple sources and was optimized and modeled using the best information available for 2022.

Activity Description

Sulfur-dioxide-bearing off-gas generated during copper smelting is converted to sulfuric acid through gas cleaning, drying, catalytic conversion, and absorption.

Process Description

Sulfuric acid is the product of acid production from copper-smelting off-gas. Sulfur-dioxide-bearing gas generated during copper smelting is converted to sulfuric acid through gas cleaning, drying, catalytic conversion, and absorption.
