A comprehensive process model was developed, and a multi-objective optimization (MOO) was performed by coupling Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) with the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to maximize system efficiency while minimizing exergy destruction and total system cost rate. The best compromise solution, achieving a system efficiency of 42.04%, exergy destruction of 148.1 kW, and a total system cost rate of 11.67 USD/h, was obtained with CuO/CH<sub>3</sub>OH and MgO/CH<sub>3</sub>OH molar flowrate ratio of 0.5, a current density of 0.806 A/cm<sup>2</sup>, an oxygen flowrate ratio of 4, a fuel cell temperature of 200°C, and an intermediate pressure of 9 bar.

To address the challenge of limited knowledge on phase transitions in vanadium slag roasting, this study employs transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to confirm the presence of metastable phases in the slag and to analyze CeO<sub>2</sub>'s catalytic effects on phase transformation.

DD contributed to freshwater and marine eutrophication (0.26 kg P eq and 0.23 kg N eq, respectively). AD emerged as the most sustainable option, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and generating biogas as a renewable energy source. WP production, while adding economic and nutritional value, had a global warming potential of 96.89 Kg CO<sub>2</sub> eq due to energy-intensive processing.

How this concept can facilitate the building sector's transition to sustainability has become a critical question for stakeholders. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation's “Material Circularity Indicator” (MCI) has been adopted to evaluate building circularity, but its application lacks comprehensiveness. This paper reviews existing literature on MCI for buildings and proposes an enhanced framework, the “Enhanced Building Circularity Indicator (EBCI),” to address these limitations. The EBCI incorporates often overlooked factors such as lightweight design, recycling levels, modularity, and a whole lifecycle perspective. The framework is tested through Taiwan's Taisugar Circular Village (TCV), the country's first circular housing project, which integrates circular economy strategies, including circular materials, modular design, and Product-as-a-Service business models. Results show that the EBCI effectively assesses building circularity across material, product, system, and building levels, highlighting the importance of recycling levels, modularity, and lifespan extension in improving circularity. The study also discovers that different normalization factors (mass vs. economic value) significantly impact the results. Including renovation times (RTs) in the assessment leads to minimal differences in circularity scores, suggesting limited additional value for this factor. The EBCI provides a comprehensive and adaptable approach to assessing building circularity, offering valuable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders seeking to promote sustainable building practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"502 ","pages":"Article 145363"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143675505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
