Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for autoclaved aerated concrete block. The reference product is autoclaved aerated concrete block. The product "autoclaved aerated concrete block" represents hardened blocks consisting mainly of calcium silicate hydrate and air voids. The raw materials for autoclaved aerated concrete blocks are silica sand and binding agents (milled quicklime, cement and anhydrite) which are mixed with water to a suspension. Aluminium powder is added and the mixture is poured into a mould. The aluminium powder is reacting with the alcaline and siliceous additives and forms, by hydrogen release, pores with a diameter between 2 and 3mm. Hardening is assumed to be by air-drying. The main use of lightweight and autoclaved aerated concrete blocks are precision blocks, precision building plates, roof and floor panels, reinforced wall partition blocks, assembly beam, head and pillar units. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary market activity.
