“…To analyze the energy consumption of the use phase, models for individual manufacturing processes have been developed by various researchers, including a model for injection molding [6] and casting [7,8]. Munoz et al [9] analyzed the mechanism of a material removal process and designed an integrated energy consumption model that includes process energy consumption, process rate, and waste-stream flow.…”

a b s t r a c tCurrently available life cycle assessment (LCA) tools provide only a rough estimation of the environmental impact of different manufacturing operations (e.g. energy consumption). To address this limitation, a web-based and application programming interface (API) based process analysis software tools were developed to estimate the energy consumption of a computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tool operation and to evaluate its environmental impact as a first step towards sustainable manufacturing analysis. Acceleration/deceleration of machine tool axes and the direction of axes movement were considered to estimate the total energy demand and processing time of the machine tool operation. Several tool path generation schemes were tested to analyze the energy consumption and resulting green house gas emission of CNC machine tool operation. It showed that tool path generation schemes affect the amount of energy and the processing time required to machine the same part, and location of the machining resulted in different amount and characteristics of green house gas emission.

“…Using this device, these authors could bring down the SPM emission from cupola furnace from 2000 to 70 mg/Nm 3 (milligram per normal cubic meter). These authors have mentioned that these DBC technologies have been used across India to reduce the SPM levels emitted by the cupola furnace, while Neto et al (2008Neto et al ( , 2009a have described the avenue available for reducing pollutants from aluminum pressure die casting plants. A model for calculating the avenue for reducing the emission using different pollution controlling devices has been devised.…”

Research has made considerable attempt to decrease the emission of harmful gaseous pollutants to the atmosphere. This report reviews hazards due to foundry air pollution, measurement of pollution emission, pollution control devices and policies of pollution control. The pollutants discussed are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, 1-hydroxypyrene, polychlorinated-p-dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans and polychlorinated biphenyls.

International audienceThis paper reports on a sustainable machining approach based on dynamic environmental assessment integration through the CAD/CAM/CNC chain. To achieve this objective, the framework for supporting the environmental assessment features key environmental indicators and simplified LCA database. Key environmental indicators are composed of ‘environmental metrics’ and ‘environmental impacts’. To implement the environmental assessment, cutting data are first extracted from STEP-NC file, a standard extending STEP to machining process data. Then, through the environmental metrics evaluation, the metrics quantities (Input/output flows of the machining process) are translated into environmental impacts by the help of the simplified LCA database. The obtained environmental profile is used by the CAD/CAM entity as a decision-aid, providing a better understanding of the environmental impacts of their machining technologies
