Methods of ecological and economic evaluation of technology

Methods of ecological and economic evaluation of technology Zygmunt KOWALSKI, Agnieszka MAKARA Please cited as: CHEMIK 2010, 64, 3, 158-167 A comprehensive assessment of the manufacturing process should mainly include the study of technological process, balance of flows of raw materials and auxiliary materials, apparatus and equipment, and the balance of generated and emitted wastes. An important stage of assessment is to identify the potential sources of wastes. Keywords: comprehensive assessment, the study of technological process, balance, identify of sources Read more:
