“…As economic growth in China has resulted in serious environmental and social problems, the environmental and social issues associated with liquor production have come under closer scrutiny [11]. The Baijiu production process generates a nondistilled remainder called vinasse, which is low-cost biological resource [10]. However, because of pollution problems, vinasse treatment has become a significant and challenging production process issue for distilled spirit companies.…”

“…In the past, vinasse was discarded because it rapidly degraded and could not be stored, which resulted in considerable environmental impact [15]. However, a sustainable alternative is to recycle vinasse as cattle feed, fertilizers, or biogas production [10].…”

“…In China, the logistics costs associated with the liquor industry account for around 20% of the total costs. The rapid economic growth in China over the past few decades has increased the focus on the environment and the associated social impacts [10]. Further, as liquor production systems can have global ecological impacts, firms are being required to report on the impact their operations have on the local environment [11].…”

“…(i) Previous research has only dealt with one or two aspects of sustainability, and few have included all three dimensions in the supply chain [21][22][23][24]. To the best of our knowledge, only Xu et al have proposed a model for a multiobjective SCND problem in a liquor company from an economic perspective [25] (ii) As measure indices for carbon emissions and the associated social impacts are insufficient for the sustainable supply chain, there is an urgent need to construct a model that can achieve a triple-bottom-line (economic, environmental, and social dimensions) sustainable supply chain network design for the Baijiu industry [21,26] (iii) Few papers have focused on the Baijiu industry from a supply chain perspective [25], with most having focused on product (Luzhou liquor, Fen liquor, and Moutai liquor) [2,4,5,27], production techniques (Daqu, starter, pit mud, and microbiological methods) [1-3, 6, 28], production processes (fermentation, distillation, and maturation) [3], or waste techniques (waste water and vinasses) [10]. To fully examine the sustainable development of Baijiu, it is necessary to establish a network design for sustainable supply chain management in the Baijiu industry [21,25] (iv) The most common network design method has been CPLEX in supply chain management [16,18,29,30].…”

Sustainable supply chain network design has attracted great attention of academia and industry in recent years. Baijiu is one of the world’s oldest distilled alcoholic beverages and plays a significant role in Chinese culture and Chinese people’s daily life. As the production and consumption of Baijiu have a significant influence on the economic, environmental, and social performance of supply chain management, sustainable supply chain network design decisions are critical to the long-term success of the industry. In concert with the rapidly growing Chinese economy, there is a growing demand for a sustainable Baijiu industry. Therefore, this paper constructs and optimizes a network decision-support model for a sustainable Baijiu industry network design. To achieve this, the Baijiu supply chain is examined and a model is proposed for a design that encompasses economic (costs), environmental (carbon emissions), and social (local employment and regional per capita GDP) dimensions. R language programming is then applied to solve the model. A case example indicated that S1 was the optimal decision for reducing costs, S2 was the optimal solution for minimizing carbon emissions, and S3 was the best for maximizing the social impact. Considering the situation of the Baijiu industry and the focal enterprise, it was concluded that S1 would be the best solution for the case company. And the results verified the effectiveness of the framework. This paper develops a systematic and effective approach that decision-makers can use to conduct sustainable network design for Baijiu enterprises.

Bitumen is frequently used as energy source. To further understand bituminous combustion and emitted volatiles during its energy generation and conversion at the fraction level including saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes (SARA), an elemental analyzer, thermogravimetry coupled with mass spectrometer and Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (TG‐MS‐FTIR) were utilized to monitor the mass loss evolution, and confirm molecular structures of emitted volatiles, and track the whereabouts of main elements during each SARA fraction combustion. Results indicate that TG, DTG, and Gram‐Schmidt (G‐S) curves show two‐stage characteristics, while the total ion chromatogram (TIC) curves present one‐stage characteristic during each SARA fraction combustion. Also, as the heating rate is raised, TG, DTG, TIC, and G‐S curves are shifted to higher temperature and the total emitted volatile amount is increased from saturates to asphaltenes. Molecular weights of main volatiles are distributed in the range of 12‐64. The elemental species of volatiles are consistent with those of SARA fractions. Finally, the typical volatiles of saturates and aromatics are similar, and the release amount of CO and CO2 at stage II is larger than those at stage I. SO2 is released during the combustion of resins. SO2 and NO2 are identified in volatiles of asphaltenes.
