Unveiling and interpreting the relationships among multi-pollutant emission factors in municipal solid waste incineration by machine learning.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Effective control of key parameters is critical for regulating pollutant emissions in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI), but existing research on these parameters remains limited and lacks comprehensiveness. This study used over 600,000 indus...

Mapping the Recycling Potential of Bottom Ashes from Waste-to-Energy Plants toward Circular Economy: Evidence from China.

Environmental science & technology
The rapid expansion of waste-to-energy (WtE) facilities underscores the need for sustainable management of incinerator bottom ash (IBA) to advance circular economy goals. However, China's national potential, economic, and environmental performance in...

Machine learning-assisted assessment of municipal solid waste thermal treatment efficacy via rapid image recognition and visual analysis.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Decentralized thermal treatment is a common method for municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal in rural areas. However, evaluating the effect of incineration has always been challenging owing to the difficult and time-consuming measurements involved. He...

Novel method for predicting concentrations of incineration flue gas based on waste composition and machine learning.

Journal of environmental management
The complex composition of solid waste leads to the variability of flue gas emissions during its incineration, which poses a challenge to the stable operation of incineration and pollution control systems. To address this problem, the study explored ...

Soft sensing of NOx emission from waste incineration process based on data de-noising and bidirectional long short-term memory neural networks.

Waste management & research : the journal of the International Solid Wastes and Public Cleansing Association, ISWA
Continuous emission monitoring system is commonly employed to monitor NOx emissions in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) processes. However, it still encounters the challenges of regular maintenance and measurement lag. These issues significa...

Artificial intelligence-based forecasting model for incinerator in sulfur recovery units to predict SO emissions.

Environmental research
Pollutant emissions from chemical plants are a major concern in the context of environmental safety. A reliable emission forecasting model can provide important information for optimizing the process and improving the environmental performance. In th...

Waste-to-energy incineration site selection framework based on heterogeneous fuzzy regret-PROMETHEE model considering life-cycle carbon emissions.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Waste incineration technology has received extensive attention for its advantages of being harmless, reducing, and recycling. However, the waste-to-energy incineration project confronts significant "not-in-my-backyard (NIMBY) concerns," and irrationa...

Hybrid model of a cement rotary kiln using an improved attention-based recurrent neural network.

ISA transactions
A rotary kiln is core equipment in cement calcination. Significant time delay, time-varying, and nonlinear characteristics cause challenges in the advance process control and operational optimization of the rotary kiln. However, the traditional mecha...

Assessment of medical waste generation, associated environmental impact, and management issues after the outbreak of COVID-19: A case study of the Hubei Province in China.

PloS one
COVID-19 greatly challenges the human health sector, and has resulted in a large amount of medical waste that poses various potential threats to the environment. In this study, we compiled relevant data released by official agencies and the media, an...

Fault Detection in the MSW Incineration Process Using Stochastic Configuration Networks and Case-Based Reasoning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Fault detection in the waste incineration process depends on high-temperature image observation and the experience of field maintenance personnel, which is inefficient and can easily cause misjudgment of the fault. In this paper, a fault detection me...
