Abstract
The development of eco-materials has become an important direction of materials science. Using appropriate methods to evaluate the environmental impacts caused by materials production is important for eco-materials research. For the purpose of obtaining more objective results to environment impacts, several exergy-based methods to indicate resource depletion have been established. However, no proper exergy-based evaluation methods for emissions in China have been reported. The objective of this study is to establish comprehensive exergy-based characterization model for life cycle assessment, and to apply this model to steel production.
