Abstract Several models for scheduling multipurpose batch plants exist in the literature. The using unit‐specific event points have shown better solution efficiency on various literature examples. This article presents a novel approach to plants, which uses unit‐slots instead of process‐slots manage shared resources such as material storage. We develop two slightly different that are even more compact and simpler than Sundaramoorthy Karimi, Chem Eng Sci . 2005;60:2679–2702. Although we focus...
In this work, the production of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) for lithium-ion battery application is studied. Spreadsheet-based process models are developed to simulate three different processes. These then used estimate and analyze factors affecting cost manufacturing, energy demand, environmental impact due greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The results indicate that in a facility with capacity making 10,000 t per year LiPF6 around $20 kg LiPF6, consumption 30 GWh year, emission gases...
Several event-based formulations for scheduling noncontinuous processes have been reported in the past decade. In fact, some unit-specific models proved more efficient than other on several literature problems. Recently, Janak and Floudas [Comput. Chem. Eng. 2008, 32 (4−5), 913−955] Shaik [Ind. Res. 2009, 48 (6), 2947−2964] shown that, without allowing tasks to occur over multiple events, may lead suboptimal solutions. this work, we present five examples, involving batch semicontinuous...
The development of efficient and affordable electric vehicles is receiving ever greater interest from both industry academia. This, indeed, in the migrating towards emission free vehicles. Arguably, one greatest barriers successful deployment cost batteries inherent to such In order compete with internal combustion engine (ICE) based vehicles, current practices producing need significant changes technology cost. new materials chemistries for more economic a research community.
