The inventory is mainly based on industry data and is completed, where necessary, by secondary data. This data set is based on primary data from internationally adopted production processes, connected with regional precursor chains.0The data set represents the German specific situation, focusing on the main technologies, the region specific characteristics and / or import statistics.Foreground system:
This process is for the production of sodium metal via molten salt electrolysis. Sodium chloride is dissolved in water to provide a saturated brine (solubility of 60 g/100ml assumed). In order to remove the calcium sulfate, sodium carbonate and barium chloride are added. The precipitate forms a sediment with the clay materials in the crude salt. The salt is then crystallized by evaporating the filtered solution. This is recovered by centrifugation.
The electrolytic cell typically comprises of four pairs of electrodes. Four steel tubes, welded together, surround the four cylindrical graphite anodes. A cylindrical iron mesh is placed in the gap between the cathode and the anode to form a diaphragm separating sodium and chlorine.
Temperature of molten salt in the electrolytic cell is ca. 600˚C. About 1% calcium is deposited on the cathode with the sodium. The crude sodium removed from the cell also contains 0.3 wt% calcium oxide and 0.3 wt % sodium oxide and small quantities of the entrained molten salt. The impurities are removed by a candle filter and gauze. Any liquid sodium in the form of droplets that rise into the closed roof is collected. A dome over the top collects the gaseous chlorine which is removed via an outlet at the top. Sodium flows into a collection vessel via a riser pipe. A stream of inert gas e.g. nitrogen, removes any gases collecting above the sodium of the riser pipe.
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources.Electricity grid mixThermal energy from natural gasWax / Paraffins at refinerySodium chloride (rock salt)Barium chloride (estimation)Calcium chloride (by-product epichlorohydrine, hydrochloric acid)Water (desalinated; deionised)Nitrogen (gaseous)Hazardous waste (non-specific) (no C, worst case scenario incl. landfill)Municipal waste water treatment (mix)ChlorineSodium is used to make other sodium compounds such as sodium peroxide and sodium cyanide.

Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.
