The Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) method was used to compare and study the environmental impact
of the whole production process of P·O 42.5R cement and P·Ⅱ 42.5R cement produced before and after the use of mixed material in
a cement plant in Guangzhou, and the evaluation results were analyzed. Six
environmental impact types were selected: Global Warming Potential(GWP),
Acidification Potential(AP), Abiotic Depletion Potential(ADP), Eutrophication
Potential(EP), Respirable Inorganic material(RI), and Photochemical Ozone
Formation Potential(POFP). LCA calculation shows that adding 3.34% gangue and
3.32% fly ash in the cement grinding process can reduce the six environmental
impacts of the cement production process. GWP, ADP, AP, EP, RI and POFP
decreased by 8.52%, 9.18%, 9.09%, 8.68%, 8.88% and 8.29% respectively.
