Mathematical Model for Waste Reduction in Aluminum Fabrication Industry in Kuwait
نویسنده
چکیده
Problem statement: Waste generation in the aluminum industry throughout the fabrication processes in Kuwait. Approach: A mathematical model has been developed to analyze the fabrication process and a special heuristic is designed for solving the model. The model uses actual data presented from an Aluminum Fabrication Industry (AFI). Results: Reduced the amount of waste generated substantially during the process. Conclusion/Recommendations: Considerable savings in waste generated can be realized by using scientific approaches through mathematical modeling.

Capability of Reused Waste from Aluminum Industry (Red Mud) in Iran to Improve Compressive Strength of Loose Soil
Jajarm Alumina Plant, the only Alumina powder producer in Iran, generates 500,000 tons of red mud annually. The commonest method for final disposal of red mud in Iran is Tailing dam which is neither cost-effective nor environmentally-friendly. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the possibility of red mud recovery to be used for stabilization of loose soils. Red mud samples have bee...

متن کاملDevelopment of An Integrated Mathematical Model to Optimize Waste Rock dumping Satisfying Environmental Aspects
Waste rock dumping is very important in the production planning of open-pit mines. This subject is more crucial when there is a potential of acid-forming (PAF) by waste rocks. In such a type of mines, to protect the environment, the PAF materials should be encapsulated by non-harmful rocks. Therefore, block sequencing of the mined materials should be in such a way that both the environmental an...

متن کاملConstruction Waste Generation in the Iranian Building Industry
Building industry as one of the greatest industries in Iran comprises a significant share of waste generation in the country. Since a large quantity of the generated construction waste is buried due to the lack of a recycling protocol, it leads to an undesired waste of resources and causes severe environmental issues. This paper provides a study on the problem of material loss/construction wast...
