| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this data set for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), data users should note that it pertains to the production of clinker at the Guangzhou Zhujiang Cement Plant using a new type of dry process technology. The scope of the data set begins with the entry of raw materials into the plant and ends at the stage of clinker burning. The functional unit is defined as one ton of clinker. Users should ensure that comparisons are made with processes of a similar technology level and capacity. If the data set is to be used in comparative assessments, users need to take into consideration regional differences and adjust data if necessary to reflect local conditions. This data does not include environmental impacts from upstream (extraction of raw materials) or downstream processes (grinding, distribution of cement). |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The process data set describes the production of clinker using a new type of dry process technology. This clinker is a key intermediate product used in the manufacture of cement. The process is utilized specifically within the Guangzhou Zhujiang Cement Plant and is optimized for the production of 5000 tons of clinker per day. The clinker produced by this process is intended for use in the construction industry as a principal component in cement, which is essential for creating concrete for buildings, infrastructure, and other construction projects. |
