Abstract
This article details the use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodology as applied to refractory materials and in particular to calcium aluminate cements. Based on a model example, the paper also demonstrates the value of considering the full life cycle of refractory applications, including the installation and usage in order to optimise refractory product types and reduce the overall environmental impact.
