Evaluation of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in Assessing the Environmental Impact of Industrial Chemical Synthesis. MSC

Abstract:
The evaluation of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is crucial for assessing the environmental impact of industrial chemical synthesis processes. This project aims to explore and analyze the application of LCA in evaluating the environmental footprint of chemical synthesis, including raw material extraction, manufacturing, use, and disposal stages. By assessing the effectiveness, limitations, and applicability of LCA, this research seeks to contribute to the development of sustainable manufacturing practices. This abstract provides an overview of the project’s objectives, methodologies, and expected outcomes.
