Life Cycle Inventory of Gangue as Alternative Raw Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the development of science and technology and industry level, solid wastes are fully utilized. Among which gangue is the solid waste generated in the process of coal mining, its comprehensive utilization rate is more than 60%. Environmental pollution in the process of coal mining is one of the typical environmental problems confronted in China. In this paper, the life cycle inventory (LCI) of gangue was acquired by the method of life cycle assessment and further environmental impact assessment was achieved as well. The results showed that environmental impacts based on allocation of calorific value were greater than that of economic value, and it’s about 3.68 times the impacts assigned by economic value. Therefore allocation of economic value was better.
