本文介绍了基于LCA（生命周期评价）研究方案的案例研究，该方案是针对硅铸造砂产生的大量废砂而设计的。铸造废料是日益增长的欧洲铸造工业中的一个高优先级部门。有必要了解铸造废物的整个生命周期，以便正确识别其对环境的影响程度和类型。系统边界包括开采、改性、包装、储存和运输到铸造厂的过程。对库存分析数据进行分析，最终转换为功能单位，定义为1吨SFS。结果表明，终结点生产对自然资源的影响为70.9%，对生态系统质量的影响为18.2%，对人类健康的影响为10.9%。以下部分，以各自的百分比，对这些结果的总体影响最大：柴油消耗32.4%，天然气消耗28.7%，电力消耗17.2%，运输12.2%，SFS造成的破坏5.35%，油（发动机，齿轮和液压）消耗4.14%。对柴油消耗贡献最大的是SFS开采。干旱化的总体效应为35.8%，是由资源和电力消耗高引起的。
This paper presents a case study based on a LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) research program of the silicon foundry sand (SFS) due to the large quantity of produced waste foundry sand (WFS). The foundry waste is a high priority sector within the growing European foundry industry. It is necessary to understand the full life cycle of the foundry waste in order to correctly identify magnitude and types of impacts it has on the environment. System boundary includes the processes: mining, modification, packing, storage and transport to foundry. Inventory analysis data were analyzed and finally converted to the functional unit, which has been defined as one ton of SFS. The resulting environmental impact of SFS production in endpoint is: consumption of natural resources 70.9%, ecosystem quality 18.2% and human health 10.9%. The following portions, with respective percentages, have the greatest overall effect on these results: diesel fuel consumption 32.4% and natural gas consumption 28.7%, electricity usage 17.2%, transport 12.2%, devastation caused by the SFS 5.35% and oil (engine, gear and hydraulic) consumption 4.14%. The highest contributor to the diesel fuel consumption is the SFS exploitation. The overall effect of desiccation was 35.8% and was caused by high consumption of resources and electricity.
