Waste Treatment in the Process Industries

Conventional solid waste management planning usually focuses on economic optimization, in which the related environmental impacts or risks are rarely considered. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the methodology of how optimization concepts and techniques can be applied to structure and solve risk management problems such that the impacts of air pollution, leachate, traffic congestion, and noise increments can be regulated in the iong-term planning of metropolitan solid waste management systems. Management alternatives are sequentially evaluated by adding several environmental risk control constraints stepwise in an attempt to improve the management strategies and reduce the risk impacts in the long run. Statistics associated with those risk control mechanisms are presented as well. Siting, routing, and financial decision making in such solid waste management systems can also be achieved with respect to various resource limitations and disposal requirements.

Comparative risk analysis for metropolitan solid waste management systems

A client/server computer framework for solid waste management decision analysis in Taiwan

The US Federal and New York State air quality standards are introduced. The environmental engineering significance of controlling the major atmospheric pollutants are discussed. Major emphasis is placed on the introduction of the following mathematical models for effective air quality control: the Mitre Air Quality Index and the Extreme Value Index recommended by Mitre Corporation; the Oak Ridge Air Quality Index developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory; and the mathematical models adopted by the Pennsylvania State Department of Health for determining the effective stack height, and the allowable emission rates of suspended particulate matter and particle fall from air contamination sources. A FORTRAN computer program is presented for the computation of the air quality control indices. Practical examples for air quality control and management are presented in detail.
