Question

hexavalene chromium Similar issues apply to flows emissions reported using general cerms such as "particulates" for emission or "sodium bydrexide solution."Information on the specif e chemical composition of emisions, as well as the size of parriculanes and the conceneracion of solutions, are needed to properly classify and characterie posential impacts. a detailed, thorough, and it process data is essential to support t ent proceshw diagram is important for r anal to developing modeling. The pr provides a valuable bl un based LCAs and more accurate impact rtment municating the scope and system boundaries for a the receiving environmental For emissions, should be indicared, if known.

Explanation / Answer

ELEMENTARY INTERMEDIATE IF INTERMEDIATE, WHY? Bauxite ore, in ground, at mine site yes Iron ore at blast furnace yes iron is extracted from iron ore in blast furnace. Thus it belongs to a SB under a new Product system Trees, standing in forest yes Corn plant in field yes Wood chips at sawmill yes part of the SB where the timber is fed to a product line Corn grain at wet mill yes extracting corn starch and other by products limestone, crushed at mine site yes coal in ground yes crushed coal at utility plant yes to be used as production energy electricity from coal at generating facility yes this is not lightning from nature; a commercial by-product grid electricity at manufacturing plant yes source of production energy tap water input to washing operation yes River water at plant inlet yes stack emissions to scrubber yes the gases can be further aborbed and adsorbed, not crossing the effective SB vehicle tallpipe emissions yes fugitive methane from landfill yes methane emissions to flare yes production line input co2 from methane flare yes Spent plating solution to treatment plant yes can be recovered and reutilised
