The Integrated Fuzzy AHP and Goal Programing Model Based on LCA Results for Industrial Waste Management by Using the Nearest Weighted Approximation of FN: Aluminum Industry in Arak, Iran

الملخص EN

The worldwide recycled aluminum generation is increasing quickly thanks to the environmental considerations and continuous growing of use demands.

Aluminum dross recycling, as the secondary aluminum process, has been always considered as a problematic issue in the world.

The aim of this work is to propose a methodical and easy procedure for the proposed system selection as the MCDM problem.

Here, an evaluation method, integrated FAHP, is presented to evaluate aluminum waste management systems.

Therefore, we drive weights of each pair comparison matrix by the use of the goal programming (GP) model.

The functional unit includes aluminum dross and aluminum scrap, which is defined as 1000 kilograms.

The model is confirmed in the case of aluminum waste management in Arak.

For the proposed integrated fuzzy AHP model, five alternatives are investigated.

The results showed that, according to the selected attributes, the best waste management alternative is the one involving the primary aluminum ingot 99.5% including 200 kg and the secondary aluminum 98% (scrap) including 800 kg, and beneficiation activities are implemented, duplicate aluminum dross is recycled in the plant, and finally it is landfilled.
