Comment: This is a market activity. Each market represents the consumption mix of a product in a given geography, connecting suppliers with consumers of the same product in the same geographical area. Markets group the producers and also the imports of the product (if relevant) within the same geographical area. They also account for transport to the consumer and for the losses during that process, when relevant. This dataset represents the supply of 1 kg of 'salt' from activities that produce it within the geography of GLO. Transportation is included in this market. The transport amounts are based on the default transport distances for markets, provided in the 'Default Transport Assumptions' file available on the ecoinvent website (https://www.ecoinvent.org/support/documents-and-files/documents-and-files.html). See exchange comments for additional details. This market is supplied by the following activities with the given share: salt production from seawater, evaporation pond, GLO: 1.0 generalComment of salt production from seawater, evaporation pond (GLO): This dataset represents the production of salt from seawater in an evaporation pond in a saline plant by the sea. the location is placed in a warm climatic zone where radiation and wind speed facilitate the evaporation of water. Seawater is driven to the ponds where it is left to evaporate. Salt content increases steadily and salt crystals form naturally. Finally the salt is collected mechanically. The dataset is constructed using literature and expert judgement. Literature: Akridge, D. Glen. (2008). Methods for calculating brine evaporation rates during salt production.
