An Evaluation of Carbon Emissions Based on the Hidden Markov Model

To address the challenge of assessing carbon emissions in the iron ore sintering process, characterized by dynamic complexity, strong temporal correlations, and multi-stage coupling, this study innovatively introduces the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) into the field of carbon emission analysis. We propose a method for process stage identification and carbon emission modeling based on a Gaussian Hidden Markov Model (Gaussian HMM). The model defines the four stages of the sintering process as hidden states and uses six-dimensional flue gas monitoring data (temperature, SO2 concentration, NO concentration, NOx concentration, O2 content, CO concentration) as the observation sequence, with Gaussian distributions describing the emission characteristics of each stage. The research employs the Random Forest algorithm to impute missing values and correct outliers in the raw data, followed by standardization to eliminate scale differences. Model parameters are initialized using Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) and iteratively optimized via the Forward-Backward and Baum-Welch algorithms to enhance the model's fitting capability for complex temporal data. The Viterbi algorithm dynamically decodes the hidden state sequence, enabling an online "predict-until-cooling" monitoring strategy. This strategy accurately determines the optimal cooling timing to balance combustion efficiency with the reaction endpoint. This approach prevents incomplete iron ore combustion and low raw material utilization, while simultaneously reducing emissions of harmful gases and greenhouse gases, thereby achieving the goal of lowering carbon emissions. It provides technical support for the refined management of carbon emissions.

Electrolysis and precipitation-based purification of ferronickel for high-purity nickel production

This study investigates the purification of ferronickel through electrolysis and precipitation processes to produce high-purity nickel. Ferronickel has yet to find extensive applications in industries requiring high-purity nickel. So, it is imperative to develop technologies that can upgrade ferronickel through electrolytic processes. Ferronickel, consisting of approximately 18% Ni and 80% Fe, represents an abundant but underutilized resource for high-grade nickel applications. Electrolysis was conducted using ferronickel anodes and graphite cathodes in 2 M HCl, followed by oxidation with H2O2 and precipitation with NaOH under varying pH (4.4 and 4.7) and temperature (40–70°C) conditions. Results demonstrated that the Ni concentration increased linearly from 5.36 g/L to 32.57 g/L over 8 hours of electrolysis, while Fe concentration rapidly increased and stabilized around 84.8 g/L after 3 hours. XRD analysis revealed improved crystallinity at higher temperatures, predominantly forming FeO2 and NiO phases at 70°C. XRF analysis confirmed effective iron removal, achieving 78.91% Fe precipitation at pH 4.4 and 70°C, while nickel recovery was maximized at 14.60% at pH 4.7 and 70°C, but this pH is not favorable due to the Ni loss. SEM indicated finer, more homogeneous precipitate morphology at elevated temperatures. SEM imaging revealed that at pH 4.4 the precipitate formed at 40°C had a coarse, loosely packed structure with large, irregular particles (average size ≈6.50 µm). By contrast, at 70°C the precipitate was much finer and more homogeneous, with particles ~916.8 nm. The findings highlight that electrolysis follow by optimized precipitation enables efficient separation of nickel from iron, offering a promising alternative route for upgrading ferronickel without relying on HPAL or matte processes. This approach contributes to diversifying nickel supply chains and promoting sustainable raw material utilization using local content

Valorization of Mine Tailings for Sustainable Geopolymer Production

ABSTRACTThe sustainable production of geopolymers requires innovative approaches to raw material utilization. This study investigates the valorization of sulfidic coal mine tailings as a partial substitute for metakaolin in geopolymer synthesis. A comprehensive protocol involving mechanical grinding, particle size reduction (<5 µm), and thermal treatment at 800°C was applied to enhance the reactivity of the aluminosilicate phases and eliminate harmful sulfidic content. Unlike earlier studies that only demonstrated low substitution levels or required blending with multiple precursors, this research uniquely demonstrates that thermally valorized coal tailings can replace up to 60 wt.% of metakaolin without compromising mechanical performance—geopolymers with 50 wt.% tailing substitution achieved compressive and flexural strengths of 43.3 MPa and 8.9 MPa, respectively. These are comparable to pure metakaolin‐based formulations and significantly superior to untreated tailing mixes. The findings are supported by extensive mineralogical analysis (XRD, EDS, TGA, XRF) and confirm that valorized mine tailings can serve as a cost‐effective, environmentally sustainable, raw materials for geopolymer production. This approach transforms hazardous waste into valuable construction materials and supports the global transition to low‐carbon building technologies.

Implementation of The Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Predictive Model on Raw Material Usage Data at PT. Plastik Karawang Flexindo

Fluctuations in raw material utilization in the manufacturing industry significantly impact production process efficiency, operational costs, and supply chain stability. Inaccurate planning and management of raw material inventories can lead to two extreme conditions: excess stock, which increases storage costs and the risk of expiration, or stock shortages, which could halt the production process and reduce productivity. To improve the accuracy of raw material consumption planning, this study applies the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model to predict raw material needs periodically based on historical data. The dataset used includes the consumption of Polyethylene (PE), High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), and Polypropylene (PP) from 2019 to 2025. The data is analyzed using a time series forecasting approach to identify trends and seasonal patterns. The SARIMA model is developed and optimized using three methods to search for the best parameters: Grid Search, Random Search, and Bayesian Optimization, to enhance prediction performance. The model's evaluation calculates the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) as an accuracy indicator. The evaluation results show that although SARIMA can recognize seasonal patterns in raw material consumption, the prediction accuracy varies, with the best MAPE value being 16% and the highest being 34%. This indicates that external factors, such as market dynamics, government policies, global price fluctuations, and internal variables such as production schedules and customer demand, need to be considered to improve the model's precision. Overall, the application of SARIMA in this context provides a strategic contribution to supply chain management in the manufacturing industry, particularly in anticipating raw material needs, reducing uncertainty, and supporting more efficient and adaptive data-driven decision-making.

This study examines the impact of various oilseed cakes (pumpkin, flaxseed, peanut, soybean, and sunflower) on the quality parameters of wheat bread made with sourdough. The research covers physicochemical characteristics, including moisture content, acidity, and porosity, as well as the determination of toxic elements (lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury) after baking, in accordance with GOST standards. The research methodology involved the experimental enrichment of wheat bread with 5% of different oilseed cakes, laboratory analysis of physicochemical indicators, and quantitative determination of toxic element content using standard methods. Moisture content was determined following GOST 21094-75, acidity was analyzed by titration according to GOST 5670-96, and porosity was measured using GOST 5669-96. The concentration of heavy metals was assessed using spectrometric methods in accordance with GOST 33824-2016, GOST 31628-2012, and GOST 26927-86. The experiment demonstrated that the addition of 5% oilseed cake (pumpkin, flaxseed, peanut, soybean, and sunflower) alters the physicochemical properties of bread while maintaining its traditional taste and texture. Soybean cake increased porosity, peanut cake contributed to moisture retention, while flaxseed and sunflower cakes enhanced acidity. The analysis confirmed that the levels of toxic elements in the tested samples did not exceed permissible limits, ensuring product safety. The obtained results highlight the importance and safety of using oilseed cakes in the baking industry, allowing for the enhancement of functional value, reduction of production costs, and promotion of sustainable raw material utilization. Thus, the incorporation of plant-based oilseed cakes presents new opportunities for expanding the range of functional bakery products while meeting modern market demands.

Enhancing Operational Efficiency in Steel Plants

Operational efficiency focuses on refining process parameters, eliminating non-value-adding bottlenecks, and reducing unnecessary time and costs. In the manufacturing industry, operational efficiency refers to the capacity of a company to produce goods and services using minimal resources while maximizing output. The operational efficiency of steel plants is crucial to the overall efficiency of the steel industry, as it reflects the performance of every interconnected unit within the plant’s operations. Steel producers face significant challenges, including fluctuating demand, capital and labour intensity, raw material supply disruptions, tightening environmental regulations, downtime, and the need for optimal use of equipment and resources. Key performance indicators (KPIs) for evaluating the operational efficiency of integrated steel plants include raw material utilization, equipment availability and utilization, quality control, productivity metrics, and financial efficiency. This study analyses these KPIs using data from five integrated steel plants under the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), sourced from SAIL’s annual reports over the last five fiscal years. The findings suggest that fostering strong relationships with suppliers and customers creates a collaborative environment conducive to continuous improvement. Emphasis should shift from volume-based approaches to strategies centered on product quality and customer satisfaction. Regular data monitoring and predictive maintenance offer critical insights into equipment performance, production trends, and maintenance needs, enabling process optimization. Implementing cost control measures in the raw material and iron zones where 60% of production costs are concentrated can significantly impact overall efficiency. Sharing best practices, joint research, and collaborative product development further contribute to mutual benefits.

Production of lignocellulose nanofibrils based on biochemical mechanical pulp from wheat straw

Due to the inherent stability of plant cell wall structure, the utilization of various fiber raw materials is limited in terms of diversification. Therefore, it is crucial to explore a simple, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective strategy for the high-value utilization of fiber raw materials. Herein, lignocellulose nanofibrils (LCNFs) were prepared from wheat straw by a combination of high-yield pulp production technology and mechanical methods. By using the mild biochemical mechanical pulp pretreatment technology, the whole process avoids the use of other organic solvents; only recycled sodium hydroxide chemical reagents are needed. The prepared LCNFs exhibited small particle size range (< 10 nm) and high thermal stability (TMax up to 350.8 °C). Moreover, by adjusting the front-end conditions during preparation, the properties of LCNFs films such as crystallinity, hydrophobicity, and water absorption can be controlled. Overall, this study provides a simple and efficient way for valorizing agricultural waste as well as a feasible alternative to incineration.

Correlation between process conditions and mechanical film properties in foamed multilayer blown films

In the context of packaging with films, specific mechanical properties are of paramount importance. This can be achieved through the implementation of optimized manufacturing processes and the efficient utilization of raw materials. The foam extrusion process has the potential to enhance material efficiency. The foam structure impacts the mechanical properties due to replacing force-conducting material. Blown film extrusion represents a predominant production process in the packaging field, offering the potential for cost-effective mass production. Integration of these processes gives rise to intricate behavior patterns, attributable to interactions between the conditions governing the blown film and those governing foam extrusion. This affects the density reduction and the mechanical properties of the material. This study’s objective was to identify the significant parameters affecting mechanical properties and to gain insight into the mechanisms influencing the foam blown film process. The results demonstrated that combining foam and blown film extrusion markedly reduces the resulting film density, with a potential savings of up to 40% in plastic at 7% blowing agent content. The optimal conditions to produce small-cell foam structures include high die pressure gradients, which can be achieved by lowering the blown film die head temperature or increasing the mass flow rate of the foamed middle layer. Tensile stress and Youngs modulus decrease with increasing blowing agent content, as the gas-filled cells reduce structural integrity. Thinner films often show higher tensile strength due to better molecular orientation. At the same time, the mass ratio influences the mechanical properties by changing the polymer structure and cell distribution, which optimizes or weakens the mechanical properties. The study presents significant insights into the blown film foam extrusion process and investigates the correlations between density reduction and the resulting mechanical properties.

Zero-Waste Polyanion and Prussian Blue Composites toward Practical Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Closed-loop transformation of raw materials into high-value-added products is highly desired for the sustainable development of the society but is seldom achieved. Here, a low-cost, solvent-free and "zero-waste" mechanochemical protocol is reported for the large-scale preparation of cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). This process ensures full utilization of raw materials, effectively reduces water consumption, and simplifies the operating process. Benefiting from the synergistic effect between the cubic Prussian blue analogs (c-NFFHCF) and dehydrated polyanionic sulfates (m-NFS), the generated composite exhibits promising wide-temperature electrochemical performance and excellent practical application potential. The synergistic effect between m-NFS and c-NFFHCF in the composite is revealed through multiple in situ characterizations and density functional theory calculations. The proposed mechanochemical strategy can be scaled to a kilogram-grade level, providing a sustainable method for the value-added utilization of the by-products during Prussian blue analogs synthesis, advancing the design of "zero-waste" cathode materials for low-cost practical SIBs.
