A general robust optimization framework is proposed to solve nonlinear programming under uncertainty. A compact convex data-driven uncertainty set is first conducted by leveraging the combined index statistic limit technique. It can effectively capture the correlations among uncertain variables by using the principal component analysis model, and eliminate the noise in massive uncertainty data. Based on the proposed uncertainty set, linearization is taken to approximate nonlinear optimization with inequality only constraints by using first-order Taylor approximation. By using the implicit function theorem, it is extended to a general formulation involving both inequality and equality constraints. Due to the potential limitation of first-order Taylor approximation, an iterative algorithm is designed to realize multiple linearization to search for a global robust solution under large perturbation. The efficiency of the proposed approach is verified on simulated numerical experiences, and the proposed method is applied to the industrial process of gold cyanidation leaching.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.

Deploying renewable energy to unit design energy-efficient technologies may fulfill the additional demand of various energy-intensive industries for their sustainability and resiliency. Multiple Stage Evaporator (MSE) is one of the most energy-intensive units used to extract the water content of the weak liquor in various industries, including the paper industry. This energy intensiveness may be reduced by integrating various Energy Reduction Schemes (ERSs). Hence, this work proposes a ERSs integrated MSE model to analyze its energy efficiency. These ERSs includes Thermo-Vapor Compressor, Steam-, Feed-Split, Feed Preheater, and Flash Tanks. Further, the performance of the proposed model is investigated under two important real-time plant complexities: Boiling Point Elevation and Fouling to achieve more realistic results. The performance analysis is initiated with the formulation of a nonlinear constrained optimization problem to increase the steam economy (SE). Also, the simulation is extended to validate at two different product concentrations (52% and 65%) by employing state-of art optimization algorithms: CONOPT, and SCA in GAMS and MATLAB respectively. The simulated results shows an increment 1.64% and 1.37% of SE for both 52% and 65% concentration of weak liquor respectively in case of CONOPT than SCA. Also, the waste heat of the condensate, feed, and product may be further utilized for the heat recovery by incorporating the flash tanks which leads to a countable energy saving. Eventually, integrating the solar fields: PTC and LFR ensures a notable reduction in conventional heat utilization by 85.96% and 92.85%, respectively and hence, enhance the energy efficiency.

This paper addresses a bi-level mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for the competitive facility location problem in a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC), in which a firm (i.e., leader) aims at entering a market by locating new distribution and collection facilities, where a competitor (i.e., follower) already exists. The goal is to find the location and attractiveness of each facility going to be established by the leader who seeks to maximize its profit while also taking the follower's response into account. The attractiveness of each facility is a function of integer variables related to the facility's characteristics. Customer behavior is considered to be probabilistic based on the Huff gravity-based rule. To globally optimize the model, a procedure that handles the discrete decisions of the follower's problem is proposed. Afterward, by replacing the inner level convex program with its corresponding Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, the bi-level MINLP is converted into a single-level MINLP model, optimized by an improved branch-and-refine algorithm. Numerical experiments on randomly generated instances are conducted to illustrate the model's applicability. Moreover, through a computational analysis of the proposed model, the amount of gain the leader makes and the follower loses due to foresight in the competition are calculated
