Description
This dataset is a market dataset representing the consumption market of the region. The dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumption end, and the transport service is calculated based on the transport situation of the product in the region. This dataset represents the average resource consumption and environmental emissions of artificial solid surface material production in China. The dataset considers the raw and auxiliary materials (such as aluminium hydroxide, unsaturated polyester resin), energy, and related emissions and process waste in core manufacturing processes such as batching, mixing, distribution, demolding, curing, pressing, cutting, grinding and polishing, coating, as well as related auxiliary processes such as waste treatment; it does not include product packaging, production equipment manufacturing, plant and other infrastructure construction; and the inventory has been supplemented and refined according to the material balance and water balance situation. The data is mainly derived from industry technical materials, public production materials of enterprises, etc.
Activity Description
The system boundary covers core manufacturing processes such as ingredients, mixing, cloth, demoulding, curing, pressing, cutting, grinding and polishing, and painting, as well as related auxiliary processes such as waste treatment, excluding product packaging.
Process Description
Artificial stone is a composite material made by using high molecular polymer, cement, or a mixture of both as a binder, and natural stone chips (powder) and/or natural quartz stone (sand, powder) or aluminum hydroxide powder as the main raw materials, with pigments and other additives added, through processes such as mixing, curing, and solidification. It mainly includes artificial stone solid surface, artificial quartz stone, and artificial granite. According to the type of binder, it can be further classified into artificial organic quartz stone, artificial inorganic quartz stone, artificial organic granite, artificial inorganic granite, etc.
