| Use advice for data set | When employing the data set for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), it is important to adhere to the functional unit defined as 1 ton of WDC. The cut-off rule must be applied, allowing the exclusion of low-value materials, like fly ash, that constitute less than 1% of the final product's weight from the inventory. The data is contextualized for sintered brick production in Zigong, Sichuan, and should be used with consideration for regional and technological specifics. Users should refer to Zhao et al., 2020 for methodological details on the cut-off rule. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | This data set pertains to the production of sintered bricks using shale ore, coal, and water-based drilling chips (WDC) as alternatives to natural clay. WDC is pre-treated to reduce moisture content, facilitating its use in sintered brick fabrication. The process is designed to minimize water consumption by reusing the water from WDC in the brick-making process. The bricks produced have dimensions of 240 mm × 115 mm × 53 mm and are suitable for construction and building applications. The utilization project is capable of producing up to 30 million sintered bricks annually. |
