Description
Low-iron embossed glass sheets can be used in the photovoltaic glass industry, with a thickness of 3.2 mm. This dataset includes key raw and auxiliary materials, energy use, atmospheric emissions, and waste generated during the production process; infrastructure such as manufacturing of production equipment and construction of factory buildings are excluded from the system boundary. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data sourced from multiple references. The production process of low-iron embossed glass sheets includes batching, melting, rolling forming, annealing, cooling, cutting, and sheet removal procedures.
Activity Description
The production of low-iron patterned glass raw sheets involves processes such as batching, melting, rolling forming, annealing, cooling, cutting, and sheet removal.
Process Description
The main component of low-iron patterned glass is SiO2, with a content of 71.61%, followed by CaO, with a content of 10.03%. Low-iron patterned glass, also known as ultra-clear patterned glass, is manufactured using glass raw materials with low iron content through a rolling process.
