“…3.1.5 Cleaning and Finishing. Finishing operations that impart the engineered surface properties of metallic parts are among the most polluting activities in manufacturing [114,115]. Life cycle-based process designs could minimize the pollution originating from finishing operations such as metallic heat treatment, cleaning, plating, and rinsing operations.…”

Sustainable manufacturing has been defined by the U.S. Department of Commerce as the creation of manufactured products using processes that minimize negative environmental impacts, conserve energy and natural resources, are safe for employees, communities, and consumers, and are economically sound. Thus, it requires simultaneous consideration of economic, environmental, and social implications associated with production and delivery of goods. Research in sustainable manufacturing is an important activity that informs product development from a life cycle perspective. At the process level, sustainable manufacturing research addresses issues related to planning, analysis and improvement, and the development of processes. At a systems level, sustainable manufacturing research addresses challenges relating to supply chain design, facility design and operations, and production planning. Though economically vital, manufacturing processes and systems have retained the negative image of being inefficient, polluting, and dangerous. Through strategic activities focused on sustainable processes and systems, industrial and academic engineering researchers are re-imagining manufacturing as a source of innovation to meet society’s future needs. Recent research into concepts, methods, and tools for sustainable manufacturing are highlighted at the systems level, and explored more deeply as they relate to discrete manufacturing process development and analysis. Despite recent developments in decision making, and process- and systems-level research, many challenges and opportunities remain. Several of these in manufacturing research, development, implementation, and education are highlighted.

Sustainable manufacturing requires simultaneous consideration of economic, environmental, and social implications associated with the production and delivery of goods. Fundamentally, sustainable manufacturing relies on descriptive metrics, advanced decisionmaking, and public policy for implementation, evaluation, and feedback. In this paper, recent research into concepts, methods, and tools for sustainable manufacturing is explored. At the manufacturing process level, engineering research has addressed issues related to planning, development, analysis, and improvement of processes. At a manufacturing systems level, engineering research has addressed challenges relating to facility operation, production planning and scheduling, and supply chain design. Though economically vital, manufacturing processes and systems have retained the negative image of being inefficient, polluting, and dangerous. Industrial and academic researchers are reimagining manufacturing as a source of innovation to meet society's future needs by undertaking strategic activities focused on sustainable processes and systems. Despite recent developments in decision making and process-and systems-level research, many challenges and opportunities remain. Several of these challenges relevant to manufacturing process and system research, development, implementation, and education are highlighted.

Fluent software was used to simulate the unsteady-state two-phase flow of particle dispersion during tapping in a workshop with a ferroalloy furnace. The gas phase was studied using the Euler coordinate system, and the motion of every solid particle was described using the Lagrange system with a discrete phase model. The concentration distribution and residence time of the particles was obtained by simulation under different conditions. The results showed that particles spread to every corner of the workshop with no wind. Ventilation can significantly reduce the particle content of the workshop. When tapping lasts for at least 720 s, the particle content of the workshop with no wind was 3.8 times more than that under north wind conditions (with a speed of 0.2 m/s). The north wind condition can be more effective to remove the particles than the south wind. The maximum residence time of a particle was only 780 s when the speed of the north wind was more than 2 m/s. A greater wind velocity would provide a better dispersion of particles and not conducive to particle deposition. Further investigation into the effects of particle size and density on particle flow patterns and dedusting would be necessary to reduce occupational exposure to fine particles in the foundry workshop.
