Vs. Stepanov et Sv. Stepanov, ENERGY EFFICIENCIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF COMPLEX INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES, Energy (Oxford), 23(12), 1998, pp. 1083-1088
We evaluate thermal and chemical pollution in terms of wasted exergies
entering the environment. Calculations for nepheline processing are c
arried out as an example. Advantages of using complex raw-material pro
cessing and multi-product outputs are illustrated on the basis of ener
gy-efficiency improvements and reduction of environmental impact. (C)
