Input Material Change

Pollution prevention can also he achieved by input material change. It actually reduces or eliminates the waste material that first enters the process. Material changes can also be done to reduce the waste generation within a production process. This can be achieved by material substitution or by material purification or concentration. The new substituted material is either very pure or has a reduced amount of hazardous constituents in it, which produces less pollutants, or has lower waste generation and also satisfies the end-product specification. The best candidate for substitution are the nontoxic and nonhazardous materials.

Changing the qualifications of input materials to make them simpler, more effective, and cheaper is another important lever. Major savings can be achieved by partnering with the R D, manufacturing, maintenance, and marketing functions to define dear customer spedfications and to determine the requirements on fitness for purpose or quality that will prevent over-engineering and enable purchasing to source the most cost-effective raw material for the application. 

Changes in input material This is an active and growing area of industrial research and development. Less toxic substitute products are being developed and tested. Procedures for increasing the purity of raw materials include material purification and material substitution. 

In order to bring about sustainable waste management, one of the obstacles is that we live in a throughput economy , where materials and energy are used to make products, which are eventually discarded. To be more sustainable, there is a need to change to d. circular economy hy closing the materials loop - to use waste as the input material for other processes or products, in order to reduce waste and reduce the need for virgin raw materials. This is exactly what happens in nature. In nature, there are no wastes all wastes are recycled by natural processes.

This study assumed that both the coal-fired power plant and the bioelectricity power plant started to operate in 2013, although none of these power plants is currendy operating. In addition, during the whole lifetime of these power plants, it is assumed that there is no change in their operating efficiency. In other words, the power plant investors spend an increasing amount of money on maintenance of boilers, turbines, generators, and transmission lines so that there is no need to increase input materials over the years. 

In a manufacturing process the process materials change between defined initial and final states such that their overall increments of internal energy, entropy and volume are A17, AS and AV respectively. The only input of energy to the process materials is from condensing steam at a temperature The only input of energy is the heat transfer to the environment and the work involved in the displacement of the environment.
