Use advice for data set | Users implementing this LCA data should pay close attention to the specificities of the mining processes included, particularly the consumption of raw materials, energy, transportation, on-site emissions, and waste disposal based on the project feasibility assessment in Jiangxi Province, China. When integrating this data into broader studies, consider technological applicability, regional factors, and the choice of functional unit (FU) as one tonne of copper-sulfur raw ore. It is recommended to use this data in conjunction with the SimaPro software and the ReCiPe 2016 method for consistent and reliable assessments. Ensure proper consideration of potential environmental impacts during the beneficiation and extraction phases. |
Technical purpose of product or process | The data set represents mining and beneficiation processes of a copper sulfate mine, specifically used for the extraction of copper sulfide ore. The process involves drilling, blasting, transporting, crushing, grinding, and flotation separation to obtain copper concentrate and tailings, alongside by-product extraction of high-sulfur and low-sulfur concentrates. This data set is pertinent to the industrial sector focusing on the mining of copper for production of electrical wires, plumbing materials, and other copper-containing products. |

Functional Unit | the mining process of one tonne of copper-sulfur raw ore was selected as the functional unit. |
Technological representativeness | |
Technology description including background system | Upon drilling and blasting, the copper sulfide ore was broken underground, and then sent to the site of the mineral processing industry through lifting and transportation system for further crushing and grinding. The grinding products were transported to the next stage for flotation, copper concentrate and copper tailings were received through the copper flotation process initially, and subsequently, the by-products high-sulfur and low-sulfur concentrates were obtained from the graded copper tailings. |
