Novel Process Windows for Enabling, Accelerating, and Uplifting Flow Chemistry
TL;DR: This Review discusses the different routes towards Novel Process Windows and provides several examples for each route grouped into different classes of chemical and process-design intensification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmentally conscious long-range planning and design of supply chain networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical programming-based methodology is presented for the explicit inclusion of life cycle assessment (LCA) criteria as part of the strategic investment decisions related to the design and planning of supply chain networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal design and planning of sustainable chemical supply chains under uncertainty
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the design of sustainable chemical supply chains in the presence of uncertainty in the life cycle inventory associated with the network operation, where the design task is mathematically formulated as a bi-criterion stochastic mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP) that simultaneously accounts for the maximization of the net present value and the minimization of environmental impact for a given probability level.

Optimization methods applied to the design of eco-industrial parks: a literature review
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed review focused on optimization works devoted to the design of eco industrial parks is presented, based on a comprehensive literature search in Web of Science database for publications that listed "industrial symbiosis" (or "eco industrial park" or "inter plant integration" and "optimization".
Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporating environmental impacts and regulations in a holistic supply chains modeling: An LCA approach
TL;DR: This work addresses the optimization of SC planning and design considering economical and environmental issues by developing a multi-objective MILP (moMILP), which reduces the value-subjectivity inherent to the assignment of weights in the calculation of an overall environmental impact by considering endpoint damage categories as objective function.

A critical survey on the status of multiple criteria decision making theory and practice
TL;DR: In this article, the main purpose is to identify pitfalls in the usage of various approaches, and to suggest approaches which are most robust and effectively useable, especially by the non-expert in MCDM methodology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated flexibility and controllability analysis in design of chemical processes
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated approach based on the dynamic mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem is introduced that consists of two stages in each iteration of the algorithm, where the effect of disturbances on the process design and operation, as well as its ideal performance, under a variety of control schemes can be estimated.

Life cycle assessment as a tool for improving process performance: A case study on boron products
Adisa Azapagic,Roland Clift +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the use of LCA as a tool for process environmental management, thereby moving the focus from product to process oriented analysis, where the emphasis is on improvement assessment in which the "hot spots" in the system are targeted for maximum environmental improvements.
