Description

Using artificial sand, cement, and water-based drilling chips as raw materials When using this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment, please note that 1 tonne of WDC has been established as the functional unit. All input parameters including raw materials, auxiliary materials, energy consumption, transportation, and direct emissions should be calculated corresponding to this functional unit. The data is based on the inventory provided by Mianyang Building Materials Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which must be considered for its regional specificity. The cut-off rule has been applied, thus low-value materials like fly ash weighing less than 1% of the final product can be excluded from the inventory. Always ensure that the use of this dataset is consistent with the methodological advice and is appropriate to the technological context of the study.

Technology

Involves the preparation of non-fired bricks by adding an appropriate amount of aggregate (i.e., manufactured sand) after the WDC crushing pretreatment. The entire production process includes mixing (time of 2 min), pressing (pressure of 3 MPa; dimension of 240 × 115 × 53 mm), and maintenance steps
