Three feed phosphates production processes were compared: a modified thermal process and two different low temperature endothermic units (one working in the "Bonarka" Inorganic Works (BIW) in Cracow and the other in the Phosphoric Fertilizers Works (PFW) "Fosfory" in GdaƄsk). The LCA results indicated that the most advantageous technology is the feed phosphates production unit in "Fosfory". It was shown that LCA can be an efficient instrument for evaluating environmental impact, though it should be compared with other estimation methods.}, type={Article}, title={Comparative Evaluation of Calcium Feed Phosphate Production Methods Using Life Cycle Assessment}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/123234/PDF-MASTER/10_AE_VOL_33_1_2007_Kowalski_Comparative.pdf}, keywords={dicalciurn feed phosphates, defluorinated feed phosphate, LCA method, environmental evaluation}, }
