Using Dynamic Optimization for Integrated Environmental Management: An Application to Solvent Waste Disposal
通过动态优化模型，研究如何将含金属溶剂废物在焚烧和土地处置两种方法间分配，以平衡不同环境介质中的污染影响及其时间效应。
The choice of disposal strategy for a residuals stream often determines the environmental medium into which the pollution is released. In turn, choice of medium may influence both the kinds of adverse effects that the pollution will have and the timing of those effects as well. As an illustration of the way in which these factors may be taken into account in integrated environmental management, this paper demonstrates the application of a dynamic optimization model to the problem of allocating a pollutant between two different disposal methods. The alternatives examined are incineration and land disposal for metal-bearing solvent waste.
