Due to increasing solid waste generation and their significant impacts on human health, environmental assessment of the management and disposal methods become more and more important. There are various disposal methods which are the combinations that originate from a wide range of solid waste management systems. In this study, municipal waste of Tehran (which totals to 7507.5 tons/day) is asses...

Lead and zinc production is one of the main predisposing factors of excessive greenhouse gases emissions, air pollution and water consumption. In this paper, the environmental problems of lead and zinc production in Calcimin plant are expressed and life cycle assessment of this plant is assessed. The data regarding the amount of induced global warming and pollution, acidification, and depletion...

agriculture (mechanization), food industry and environment are the concepts that cannot be surveyed separately (because of their interaction). present research aimed to study tomato paste production by applying life cycle assessment. two functional unit of kg co2-eq/ kg tomato and kg co2-eq / kg paste was used. data were collected from one paste factory in alborz province and open-field tomato ...

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is universally accepted as the method of choice for economic assessment in Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) but singular focus on costs ineffective representing multiple facets sustainability. This review intends to identify other indicators potentially complement use LCC LCSA. Papers were identified Web Science Core Collection database years 2010–2021. The shortlisted ...

Methodological tools such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Exergy Analysis (ExA), and Emergy (EmA) that account for sustainability indicators in environmental, economic, and/or social dimensions, cannot provide an assessment under these three dimensions a robust way by themselves. This research is proposing framework to obtain unified performance metric (Integrated Sustainability Index, ISI) ass...

Nowadays, a vast number of concrete structures are approaching the end their expected service life. The need for maintenance and repair is high due to continued deterioration existing building inventory infrastructure, resulting in large near future. Reinforcement corrosion most important mechanism, causing (i) severe damage (cracking along reinforcement spalling cover concrete) (ii) loss steel...

concrete is one of the most utilized construction materials in the world. nowadays, nano silicate usage due to its special property attracted considerable attention. on this basis, studying its environmental functions is an essential issue. accordingly, the behavior of normal concrete and the one with nano silicate were compared via taking advantage of life cycle assessment (lca) method in this...
