Description
Silica bricks can be used as refractory bricks; this dataset includes primary raw materials, auxiliary materials, energy consumption, and atmospheric emissions from the production process, while infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction are excluded from the system boundary; the life cycle inventory is compiled from data sourced from multiple references; the manufacturing process of silica bricks includes raw material procurement, crushing, screening, mixing, wet milling and forming, drying, firing, quality inspection, and packaging.
Activity Description
The production activities of silica bricks include raw material procurement, crushing, screening, mixing, wet milling and forming, drying, firing, quality inspection, packaging and other processes.
Process Description
Silica bricks are mainly composed of SiO₂, with advantages such as low true density, residual quartz content below 1%, low linear thermal expansion rate, high compressive strength, good thermal stability above 600°C, and high content of tridymite.
