A set of sustainability metrics, covering the economic, environmental and sociological dimensions of sustainability for evaluation of nanomanufacturing processes is developed. The metrics are divided into two categories namely industrial engineering metrics (process and safety metrics) and green chemistry metrics (environmental impact). The waste reduction algorithm (WAR) is used to determine the environmental impact of the processes and NAIADE (Novel Approach to Imprecise Assessment and Decision Environments) software is used for evaluation and decision analysis. The methodology is applied to three processes used for silica nanoparticle synthesis based on sol-gel and flame methods.
开发了一套可持续性指标,涵盖纳米制造过程可持续性的经济、环境和社会学维度,用于评估纳米制造过程。这些指标分为两类,即工业工程指标(过程和安全指标)和绿色化学指标(环境影响)。采用废物减少算法(WAR)来确定过程的环境影响,并使用NAIADE(不精确评估和决策环境的新方法)软件进行评估和决策分析。该方法应用于基于溶胶-凝胶法和火焰法的三种二氧化硅纳米颗粒合成过程。
