cement production;cement, ordinary portland cement;new dry process precalciner kiln, 4000 t/d;granulated blast furnace slag
Use advice for data set When utilizing this data for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of ordinary Portland cement produced using the new dry pre-decomposition cement production technology, ensure to include all relevant phases from the described process boundary. This includes pollutant emission data during limestone and gypsum extraction, transportation of raw materials, and electricity production. The average distance for material transport is considered to be 100km, and emissions data should be obtained from the China Life Cycle Reference Database (CLCD). For auxiliary materials like slag and industrial waste, only incorporate the transportation and preparation stages, excluding the production phase. Note that environmental impacts from the creation of industrial waste should be accounted for by the waste producer. Ensure that the functional unit of the LCA model is consistent with the described unit of 1t of cement.
Technical purpose of product or process The described ordinary Portland cement from new dry process precalciner kilns has applications in the construction industry for building infrastructure, commercial and residential buildings, and other structural constructions. As a binder in concrete, mortar, and other materials, its production technology has been selected for its alignment with environmental protection and high production rates, indicating its suitability for large-scale construction projects that prioritize sustainability.

Technological representativeness
Technology description including background system This article selects a pre-decomposition kiln-drying cement production model. The new dry pre-decomposition cement production technology is based on suspension preheating and pre-decomposition technology. It is a production technology that is more in line with environmental protection requirements and meets high productivity requirements, and has become the future development trend of China's cement industry. Therefore, the selection of new dry pre-decomposition cement production technology as cement model production technology has advanced and environmentally friendly requirements.

Mathematical model
Model description The life cycle functional unit is selected as 1t of cement to construct the life cycle model.The cement industry system boundary includes the production of cement, the production and transportation of raw materials, and the production of electricity, but does not include the use and processing of cement.For auxiliary materials such as slag, only the transportation and preparation process will be considered, and the production process will not be considered.

Data selection and combination principles Pollutant emission data from limestone and gypsum mining come from the China Life Cycle Reference Database (CLCD). Due to the lack of mining data for clay and iron ore and the small amount of mining, the pollutant emission data from limestone mining were used as estimates. The pollutant emission data from coal mining adopt the raw coal mining data from the China Life Cycle Reference Database (CLCD).The power production pollutant emission data uses the national average grid power mixing and transmission data from the China Life Cycle Reference Database (CLCD).The transportation stage considers the transportation of all raw materials required for cement production, including limestone, clay, iron powder, gypsum, coal and industrial waste. For the convenience of calculation, a diesel truck with a load of 10t on highway transportation is taken as an example. It is assumed that the average transportation of all raw materials The distance is 100km. The pollutant emission inventory data of diesel trucks with a load of 10 tons in the China Life Cycle Reference Data (CLCD) are used.

General comment Coal. The statistical values of Chinese production lines are used, and the standard coal consumption for large and medium-sized precalciner kilns is 114 kg/t clinker. The coal consumption can also be calculated based on the chemical composition of coal ash and the industrial analysis values of coal.

General comment Electricity consumption. The average level of domestic electricity consumption in China is used. For dry-process cement production lines, the electricity consumption for milling operations accounts for more than 60% of the total electricity consumption, with raw material milling accounting for about 30% and cement milling accounting for about 40%. Due to limited data on raw material mining, a simplified treatment is adopted for various raw materials, and the electricity consumption data of 13.89 kWh/t raw materials are used. For different types of blended cement, the electricity consumption for milling different raw materials varies due to differences in their shapes and properties. The estimation is based on the percentage of electricity consumption for milling raw materials in the United States.

General comment CO2. The CO2 emissions during the cement production stage come from two parts: one is the decomposition of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate in the raw materials during the calcination process, and the other is the release of CO2 from coal combustion as fuel. The formulas for CO2 emissions from raw materials are: CaCO3→CaO+CO2; MgCO3→MgO+CO2. The emission factor for CO2 from coal combustion is based on the carbon emission coefficient from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, which is 2.4933 kg CO2 per kg of standard coal.

General comment Dust, with an unspecified particle size, is treated as PM > 10 micrometers in diameter. The emissions of dust during cement production are based on the upper limit values of the Chinese cement industry atmospheric pollutant emission standards. According to the dust emission concentration from different equipment in cement production, the dust emission quantity from each production stage can be calculated. Among them, the dust emission from raw material grinding accounts for approximately 55% of the total, cement grinding accounts for about 20%, coal preparation stage accounts for 13%, and clinker calcination process accounts for 12%.
