Battery Manufacturing Resource Assessment to Minimise Component Production Environmental Impacts

Routeing of power lines through least-cost path analysis and multicriteria evaluation to minimise environmental impacts

Environmental Impacts of Cement Production

Будівельна промисловість є одним з лідерів щодо забруднення довкілля внаслідок вичерпування ресурсів і затрат енергії або утворення відходів. Крім того, спостерігається значна емісія від парників, кислотних газів від будівельної промисловості. Цемент належить до одного із найвикористовуваніших будівельних матеріалів у світі, а його виробництво невпинно зростає. А цементна індустрія є дуже енерг...

Evaluation of Environmental Impacts in Turkey Production System in Iran

Poultry industry is an important production system due to providing remarkable portion of the human food and protein needs. Considering the necessity of environmental protection, the amount of environmental impacts of a turkey production unit in Iran was determined using life cycle assessment method. The required information were collected through questionnaires and interviews with farm owners....

A Production Planning Optimization Model for Maximizing Battery Manufacturing Profitability

This paper presents an integer programming (IP) model for production planning, which is used to maximize the profitability of battery manufacturing in a mid-size company. Battery production is a complicated multi-stage process. The formation stage, during which the batteries are filled with acid and charged with electricity, is considered to be the bottleneck of this process. The IP model maxim...

Environmental Impacts of Three Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) Manufacturing Processes

This work investigates the environmental impacts of three manufacturing processes for a promising biodegradable polymeric material: polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). The processes studied are microbial PHA manufacturing using glucose as the carbon substrate, microbial PHA manufacturing using cheese whey as the carbon substrate, and microbial PHA manufacturing using genetically engineered plants. A li...
