Use advice for data set When using this dataset, users should pay attention to the specific clinker quality parameters (KH, SM, and IM), as these impact the resulting quality and types of cement that can be produced. Additionally, as the system boundaries exclude wastewater considerations due to minimal discharge, any assessment requiring analysis of the water use and disposal in the production should adjust the data accordingly. Methodological considerations should also include the specific energy consumption metrics, as well as the calculation of materials involved in the process, such as the proportions of raw materials, coal, coal ash, and the management of food waste, and residual waste. Further, understanding the functional units will be critical in applying this data to environmental impact assessments and in comparing the clinker production efficiency and emissions with other production methods or facilities. |
