Fluoride Reuse in Aluminum Trifluoride Manufacture: Sustainability Criteria

摘要

Sustainable Development has been introduced in the chemical engineering objectives related to processes, plants and systems. It is a model of progress that links economic development, protection of the environment and social responsibility [1]. This concept aims to harmonize the economical, social and environmental dimensions of the development strategies and it is now a key feature of the policy making in the European Union (EU). Sustainable Development is related to: balanced and equitable economic development; high levels of employment, social cohesion and inclusiveness; and a high level of environmental protection and responsible use of natural resources.
