| Use advice for data set | When using this LCA dataset, users must note that the data applies specifically to the crushing process in shale hollow brick production, based on the production and discharge coefficients from the 3131 category for sintered bricks and building blocks. It is imperative to scale the data according to the annual production volume given (80 million bricks per year) and the conversion for bricks produced per tonne to ensure accurate application in life cycle assessments. Caution should also be taken to differentiate between this high-energy initial processing phase and subsequent production phases when applying the dataset to overarching LCA models. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The data set describes the process of producing shale hollow bricks, which are typically used in construction for building walls, facades, and other structural elements, allowing efficient thermal insulation due to the hollow structure of the bricks. The crushing process mentioned is part of the initial stage in brick production where the raw material, shale, is crushed to a fine powder before being formed and sintered into hollow bricks. |
