Cost Minimization Of Recycling Processes At Eti Aluminum Plants
Abstract
Abstract: This paper presents a minimization model to reduce cost of
recycling process of caustic in red mud in hydrate serving product
facility, a unit of ETI Alumina Plants. Caustic is very important for
ETI Alumina Plants, because it is so expensive that an optimization
procedure is necessary for the cost minimization. At the same plants
there is also a hydrate serving product facility. One should, therefore,
determine the global cheapest mixing and recycling cost. A generic
non-linear program formulation for a recycling process is available in
the literature, which is employed in this study. This program helps to
minimize the cost of caustic recycling process.
