Waste minimization through process integration and multi-objective optimization
By avoiding or reducing the production of waste, waste minimization is an effective approach to solve the pollution problem in chemical industry. Process integration supported by mufti-objective optimization provides a framework for process design or process retrofit by simultaneously optimizing on the aspects of environment and economics. Mufti-objective genetic algorithm is applied in this area as the solution approach for the mufti-objective optimization problem.
