初探陶瓷燒製方式與環境可持續發展

A Preliminary Study on the Ceramic Design and the Sustainable Development of Environment

陶瓷是藝術和科學的綜合表現，陶藝創作者的最終目標是根據特定的材料和精湛的技術創造新的表現形式。然而，在陶藝的設計過程中，除了追求陶瓷藝術的生動呈現外，亦不能忽視陶瓷燒製過程是一個能耗高、二氧化碳排放高的環境。本研究採用生命週期評估法求算陶瓷燒製過程對環境的影響程度。研究發現不同的燒成方法對環境的影響有明顯的不同。經由實證的三種燒製程序進行比較，我們發現柴燒還原燒製方案燒在材料和加工階段的二氧化碳排放量遠高於電窯（氧化燒）與瓦斯窯（還原燒）燒製方案。此一發現可作為後續更多的定性和定量的研究，以開展藝術創作者對於藝術設計提案與環境影響之關係，基於生命週期評估，強化環境可持續發展的範疇。

Ceramics is a comprehensive expression of art and science. The ultimate goal of ceramics designers is to create new forms of expression based on specific materials and superb techniques. However, in the design process of ceramics, in addition to pursuing the vivid appearance of ceramic art, it cannot be ignored that the ceramic firing process is an environment with high energy consumption and high carbon dioxide emissions. This study applies the life cycle analysis model to calculate the environmental impact of the ceramic firing process. The study finds that different burning concepts and firing methods have significant effects on the environment. Comparing the three samples, we find that the Carbon Dioxide emission of the burning scheme-2 in the material and processing stages is much higher than the burning scheme-1, 3. This finding can be used as a follow-up for more qualitative and quantitative research to develop the relationship between art designers' artistic design proposals and environmental impact. Strengthening the scope of environmental sustainability based on life cycle analysis.
