| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this LCA data set, attention should be paid to correctly allocating environmental burdens between the autoclaved bricks and the recovered concentrates. Appropriate handling of system boundaries, allocation methods, and end-of-life scenarios is essential. Further, consideration should be given to the specificity of the process, such as the technological efficacy and regional variations in practices. An up-to-date and locally relevant database should be used to compare the environmental performance of the process against regional benchmarks. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The technical application of the process involves the recycling of copper mine tailings for the production of autoclaved bricks while simultaneously recovering copper concentrate, iron concentrate, and dense media from the secondary beneficiation of the copper tailings. This process is typically applied in the construction and mining industry for waste recovery and building material production. |
