Although there are a lot of studies in literature related to the life cycle assessment (LCA) mining, only few done on boron mining industry. This paper presents an LCA industry including extraction, beneficiation, and refinement processes. The main purpose is identify compare environmental impacts associated with production 1 ton refined products (boric acid, borax pentahydrate, decahydrate, so...

Each of pavements’ life cycle phases such as material extraction, transportation, construction, operation, rehabilitation, and end-of-life emits greenhouse gases. Such emissions can be influenced by climate change via changes in the rates of pavement deterioration and thus intensity and frequency of maintenance and rehabilitation. However, climate change has not been given full considerations i...

Binalardaki su yalıtımı uygulamaları, malzemelerin üretim ve yapım süreçlerinde oluşan enerji kaynak tüketimi nedeniyle çeşitli çevresel etkiler oluşturmaktadır. Her yıl tonlarca yalıtım malzemesinin uygulandığı dikkate alınırsa; bu fiziksel, kimyasal vb. performans özelliklerinin yanı sıra, olası etkilerinin de değerlendirilmesi gerektiği açıktır. Makalede, Türkiye’de klasik ters teras çatılar...

In the COVID-19 pandemic period, role of face masks is critical as a protective physical barrier to prevent droplets and filtrate exhalations coming from infected subjects or against various environmental threats, including SARS-Cov-2 virus. However, plastic microplastic waste used pollute environment, cause negative impact on human health natural ecosystem, well increase landfill medical waste...

The giant freshwater prawn (GFP), Macrobrachium rosenbergii has emerged as a significant crustacean in global aquaculture. A cradle-to-farm Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was used to assess the potential environmental impacts of GFP Malaysia. four main iterative farming phases involved were pond preparation, stocking, farming, and harvesting. impact categories chosen warming, terrestrial ecotoxici...

Today, an important part of paved surfaces in the world uses asphalt mixtures. This practice increases use aggregates and fossil fuels, availability which is limited. Most studies referring to mixtures reported compared mechanical performances without detailing environmental impacts different technologies proposed. The objective this study was present compare through a life cycle assessment usi...

The road construction sector is one of the most raw material-intensive sectors in existence. As a result, it has significant impact on environment. For this reason, there are several research projects which industrial by-products used as materials. In turn, energy production from biomass combustion considered to be promising sources. However, type produces number wastes that need treated, such ...

The main environmental impact of olive oil production is the disposal residues such as pomace and water vegetation. During extraction process, stone milled discharged within pomace. However, flour can be valorized filler for polymeric composites. A life cycle assessment valorization was carried out by focusing on manufacturing process a biocomposite made two different thermoplastic matrices, i....
