“…Recently, researchers have used various assessment indicators and information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as detection (identification) technology and data possession (acquisition) technology for dealing with the environmental issues of waste disposal (Hannan et al, 2015; Olay-Romero et al, 2020). For example, Varbanov et al (2012) presented a new indicator, namely, waste energy potential use, to determine the effect of logistics and energy allocation from MSW. Later, Rada and Ragazzi (2014) provided other indicators considering the diverse pretreatment processes.…”

The worldwide populace is rising steadily. Urbanization is likewise expanding quickly with the rising populace. Fast urbanization has considerably increased the generation of municipal solid waste (MSW). The MSW management issues have recently been analyzed through various assessment indicators and information and communication technologies (ICTs). This article provides an overview of applications of assessment indicators and ICTs for addressing the environmental issues of waste disposal and management in municipalities. The selection of indicators mainly depends on the stakeholders’ specific requirements, such as waste management strategies, urban planning and development, human health, and energy generation. The literature analysis revealed that collection, sorting, recycling, cost efficiency, and environmental aspect were the leading indicators used in waste management studies. And these indicators reduce the complexity of systems and formulate evaluations easier for the decision-maker. Moreover, these are also helpful in assessing the improvement and reporting the waste condition to the expert. These analysis further revealed that information and communication technology is a requirement in the planning and managing of current solid waste disposal problems. The use of ICTs in waste management systems mitigates possible constraints regarding spot selection, inept waste disposal, waste collection monitoring, and proper recycling.

“…4 For the optimal planning of MSW management, it is necessary to consider the entire supply chain of the system including tasks like MSW recollection, transportation, treatment, production of value added products and distribution of products. 5 In this context, Varbanov et al 6 introduced a new indicator, called waste energy potential utilization, to measure the impact of logistics and energy distribution from MSW. Hokkanen and Salminen 7 reported a methodology to take into account several criteria for the selection of a MSW management system.…”

Optimal planning for the reuse of municipal solid waste considering economic, environmental, and safety objectives

This paper presents a mathematical programming model for the optimal planning of the reuse of municipal solid waste to maximize the economic benefit while simultaneously considering sustainability and safety criteria. The proposed methodology considers several phases of the supply chain including waste separation, distribution to processing facilities, processing to obtain useful products and distribution of products to consumers.Additionally, the safety criteria are based on the potential fatalities associated with waste management. The proposed optimization model is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem, which considers three different objectives including the maximization of the net annual profit, the maximization of the amount of reused municipal solid waste and the minimization of the social risk associated with the supply chain. The proposed model is applied to a case study in the central-west region of Mexico. The results show the tradeoff between the social risk and the economic and environmental criteria.

“…Although the concept of WHI and the corresponding WHENs problem have not yet been consistently defined in the available literature, increasing research activities related to these topics have been performed in recent years. A special session entitled "Work and Heat Exchange Networks" (WHENs) was organized at the 20 th Conference on Process Integration, Modelling and Optimization for Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction -PRES'17 [66]. One of the contributions was a review of WENs and WHENs 32.…”

The extension from Heat Integration (HI) and design of Heat Exchanger Networks (HENs) to including heating and cooling effects from pressure changing equipment has been referred to as Work and Heat Integration and design of Work and Heat Exchange Networks (WHENs). This is an emerging research area of Process Synthesis, however, WHENs is a considerably more complex design task than HENs. A key challenge is the fact that temperature changes (related to heat) and pressure changes (related to work) of process streams are interacting. Changes in inlet temperatures to compressors and expanders resulting from heat integration will influence work consumption and production. Likewise, pressure changes by compression and expansion will change the temperatures of process streams, thus affecting heat integration.As a result, Composite and Grand Composite Curves will change shape due to pressure changes in the process. The thermodynamic path of process streams from supply (pressure, temperature) to target state is not known and depends on the sequence of heating, cooling, compression and expansion. This paper introduces a definition and describes the development of WHENs. Future research challenges related to methodology development and industrial applications will be addressed. The potential of WHENs will be indicated through examples in literature.
