Description
This dataset represents the average resource consumption and environmental emission situation of dry-mixed mortar production in China. The dataset considers the core manufacturing processes such as material storage, sand drying and screening, and stirring and mixing, as well as the raw and auxiliary materials (such as cement, aggregates, stone powder/fly ash, and additives), energy (mainly natural gas), and related emissions and process waste in the related auxiliary processes such as waste treatment; it does not include product packaging, the manufacture of production equipment, and infrastructure construction such as plant buildings; the inventory has been supplemented and improved according to the material balance and water balance situations. The data are mainly sourced from industry technical materials, publicly available enterprise production materials, etc.
Activity Description
The system boundary covers core manufacturing processes such as material storage, sand baking, screening, mixing and blending, as well as related auxiliary processes such as waste treatment, excluding product packaging.
Process Description
Dry-mix mortar is a dry mixture of cementitious materials, dried fine aggregates, additives, and other performance-dependent components that are proportioned, measured, and mixed at a specialized production plant. At the point of use, it is mixed with water or specified complementary components in the required proportions. The product covers conventional types such as general-purpose masonry mortar, plastering mortar, machine-applied plastering mortar, and floor screed mortar, and may also be used, where appropriate, in place of specialty mortars such as thin-layer mortar and waterproof mortar.
