Certain chemical process yield important basic materials for society, e.g., (cement, steel, aluminum, and fertilizer).However, these chemical reactions contribute to climate change by emitting carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, through chemical reactions, as well as through the combustion of fossil fuels to generate the high temperatures needed to reach the activation energies of the chemical ...
An industrial process alters materials or substances. Some processes make the production of a rare material vastly cheaper, thus changing it into a commodity ; i.e. the process makes it economically feasible for society to use the material on a large scale.

The industrial process or operation can be optimized using a variety of available methods. Each method design has its advantages and disadvantages. The best overall method is chosen using selection criteria and concepts involving value engineering , cost-benefit analysis , crossover charts, and economic analysis.
In process inspection for process manufacturing refers to inspection at any point in producing a product, and is also referred to as in process product verification. [8] The objective of in process inspection is to ensure the requirements of the product are being met before they are finalized and continue to the next stage. Identifying a ...
Lévy process, a stochastic process with independent, stationary increments; Poisson process, a point process consisting of randomly located points on some underlying space; Predictable process, a stochastic process whose value is knowable; Stochastic process, a random process, as opposed to a deterministic process
Industrial ecology (IE) is the study of material and energy flows through industrial systems. The global industrial economy can be modelled as a network of industrial processes that extract resources from the Earth and transform those resources into by-products, products and services which can be bought and sold to meet the needs of humanity.
Co-processing is the use of waste as raw material, or as a source of energy, or both to replace natural mineral resources (material recycling) and fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and gas (energy recovery) in industrial processes, mainly in energy intensive industries (EII) such as cement, lime, steel, glass, and power generation.
