    Abstract Food Waste (FW) is a pressing environmental concern that affects every country globally. About one-third of the food that is produced ends up as waste, contributing to the carbon footprint. Hence, the FW must be properly treated to reduce environmental pollution. This study evaluates a few available Food Waste Treatment (FWT) technologies, such as anaerobic digestion, composting, landfill, and incineration, which are widely used. A Bipolar Picture Fuzzy Set (BPFS) is proposed to deal with the ambiguity and uncertainty that arise when converting a real-world problem to a mathematical model. A novel Criteria Importance Through… More >

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.12, pp. 4007-4023, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.031210

    Abstract This research focuses on the effective removal of methylene blue dye using silica gel synthesized from chemical glass bottle waste as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective adsorbent. The adsorption process was optimized using Box-Behnken Design (BBD) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to investigate the influence of pH (6; 8 and 10), contact time (15; 30 and 45 min), adsorbent mass (30; 50 and 70 mg), and initial concentration (20; 50 and 80 mg/L) of the adsorbate on the adsorption efficiency. The BBD was conducted using Google Colaboratory software, which encompassed 27 experiments with randomly assigned… More > Graphic Abstract

    Medical Waste Treatment Station Selection Based on Linguistic q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Numbers

    Jie Ling1,2, Xinmei Li1,2, Mingwei Lin1,2,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.129, No.1, pp. 117-148, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2021.016356

    Abstract During the COVID-19 outbreak, the use of single-use medical supplies increased significantly. It is essential to select suitable sites for establishing medical waste treatment stations. It is a big challenge to solve the medical waste treatment station selection problem due to some conflicting factors. This paper proposes a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) method based on the partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean (PMSM) operator. For the medical waste treatment station selection problem, the factors or attributes (these two terms can be interchanged.) in the same clusters are closely related, and the attributes in different clusters have no relationships.… More >
