摘要: Background, aim and scope The mining sector provides materials that are essential elements in a wide range of goods services, which create value by meeting human needs. Mining processing activities an integral part most complex material cycles so the application life cycle assessment (LCA) to minerals metals has therefore gained prominence. In past decade, increased use LCA mineral metal advanced scientific knowledge through development scientifically valid inventory databases. Though valid, still needs depend on several technical assumptions. particular, measuring environmental burden issues related abiotic resource depletion, land impacts open-loop recycling within widely debated issues. Also, incorporating spatial temporal sensitivities LCA, make it consistent tool, is yet be resolved. This article discusses existing methods proposed models different relation sector.
