Ammonium sulfate {AU}| market for ammonium sulfate | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.000
This data have been copied from the ecoinvent version 2.2 database and adapted to Australsian database by substituting input flows from Australasian database for ecoinvent processes where they are available. Because of the ecoinvent detail included in this data in is subject to the same copyright and distribution restrictions as the ecoivent database published in SimaPro. See system description for more detail on the substitution. Translated name: Ammoniumsulfat, als N, ab Regionallager Included processes: The unit process inventory takes into account the use of energy resources cited in Kongshaug (1998), needed for the production of ammonium sulphate as by-product during the manufacture of nylon (caprolactam). These values must be considered as uncertain, because the system boundaries were not clearly defined by Kongshaug. Infrastructure was included by means of a proxy module. Remark: Refers to 4.76 kg ammonium sulphate with a N-content of 21.0% CAS number: 007783-20-2; Formula: (NH4)2SO4; Geography: According to the reference used for this inventory, the European average is derived from mean values of several fertiliser plants within Europe. Technology: Energy inputs were derived from detailed literature studies and specifications from the manufacturer, relevant for the European production. Time period: 2006-2007 Version: 2.2 Synonyms: Ammonsulfat Energy values: Undefined Percent representativeness: 70.0 Production volume: 1266961 tons N in 1999 in 15 European countries Local category: Landwirtschaftliche Produktionsmittel Local subcategory: Mineraldünger Source file: 00041.XML Record: Data entry by: Angelika Heil Telephone: 0041 44 377 71 54; E-mail: art@ecoinvent.org; Company: ART; Country: CH Generator: Generator/publicator: Angelika Heil Telephone: 0041 44 377 71 54; E-mail: art@ecoinvent.org; Company: ART; Country: CH

- Sampling procedure
- Sampling procedure: Values given in the reference originate from manufacturers and/or other data sources which in turn refer to the real situation and hence are largely secured. However, the emissions factors may be somewhat uncertain. When no information on the speciation of N - emissions was given in the reference, the most likely speciation was assessed by an expert. For particulate emissions factors into the air specified only as the total particle mass in the reference, particle size distribution was assessed based on an expert's guess.
