This book by leading experts consolidates knowledge on the numerical simulation and AI-driven modeling of multiple points dioxins concentration in the municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) process to provide readers with the skills to develop safer and more efficient waste management practices. The authors explore the complex interplay between MSW management and environmental health, specifically focusing on the generation and production of dioxins during incineration. This comprehensive work amalgamates theoretical insights and practical applications, leveraging numerical simulations and artificial intelligence techniques to offer innovative modeling solutions. It addresses the critical problem of dioxin generation and emissions from MSWI through a structured approach that integrates exhaustive research data, case studies, and advanced computational methodologies that provides an integrated model that accounts for various operational parameters and their effects on emissions. It both discusses the existing theoretical frameworks and empirical studies and applies advanced modeling techniques to yield practical insights. Readers will find clear representations of simulation processes alongside discussions on optimization and control mechanisms. This facilitates an understanding of the underlying mechanisms of dioxin formation, enabling targeted solutions that are informed by both experimental results and advanced simulation techniques. This ultimately furnishes practitioners with robust tools to better understand and mitigate the risks associated with dioxin emissions so they can contribute to safer and more efficient waste management practices. This is an essential resource for engineers, policy-makers, and researchers involved in sustainable waste management and environmental protection. In particular, environmental engineers, MSWI plant operators, and researchers will benefit from the integrated theoretical and practical approach and discussion of real-world scenarios and applications.
