Simplified Life Cycle Assessment of a Belt Conveyor
Abstract
This paper presents simplified life cycle assessment (LCA) of a bucket
wheel excavator (BWE) belt conveyor. Conducted analysis should provide
insight in most of the issues concerning sustainability and environmental
properties of the belt conveyor. This paper also provides recommendations
for improvement of the belt conveyor based on previous studies and
sumarized results based on analysis of complete conveyor presented here.
It should also serve as a starting point for complete LCA of the belt
conveyor. The aim of complete LCA is to provide more detailed review of
environmental properties of the belt conveyor and possible improvements
of its energy efficiency, energy and cost savings. All of these analysis
should serve as a basis for establishing methodology for LCA studies of
any BWE or similar types of belt conveyors.
