Resources metabolism problems are the main reason resulting in the eco鄄environmental impacts of industrial system. Material flow analysis is a methodology that focuses on tracking and quantifying a substance or substance group as it moves through a system and is the primary tool used to understand the metabolic processes of anthropological activity. Based on analyzing the resources metabolism of the pulp and paper industry in Wuhan by the methodology of MFA, an analysis indicator system was built, which included four aspects: resources input, resources consumption, environmental stress and circular symbiosis. The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and the problem tree model were used to evaluate metabolism of raw materials, water, and energy of the pulp and paper industry in Wuhan. Five grades were included: excellent, good, moderate, bad and very bad. The results were compared with the national average level in 2007. The results showed that the evaluation grade of resources metabolism of the pulp and paper industry in Wuhan is excellent,while it is still slightly lower than the national average level. When evaluating the resources metabolism separately by resources input, resources consumption, environmental stress and circular symbiosis, we found that: (1) The grades of the ecological efficiency of raw material input, energy input and water input were excellent, good and excellent respectively; (2) The grade of the energy consumption per unit product was good, and that of the water consumption per unit product and the raw material consumption per unit product were excellent; (3) the grades of the output value per unit pollutant and the pollutant emission per unit product were excellent, and the grade of the compliance rate of pollution emission was good;
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
