| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this data set for life cycle assessment, users should note the integration of spent adsorbents in the brick manufacturing process. Special attention should be given to the quantification of environmental benefits from the diversion of waste from landfills to a productive use in brick making. Additionally, it is important to consider the technological feasibility and regional legality of recycling spent adsorbents in construction materials, as well as to adequately address any potential leaching of contaminants from the bricks into the environment during their use. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The process described is intended for the management of disposed spent adsorbents through their integration into the manufacturing of bricks. By mixing the spent adsorbents with 90% clay, they can safely be immobilized and repurposed in brick products. This integration primarily serves the construction industry, providing an eco-friendly solution for brick manufacturing while simultaneously addressing groundwater contamination issues through the in-situ remediation method. |
