Abstract

Clean production is studied from thermodynamic perspectives. Based on comparative analyses of industrial processes and thermodynamic systems, mechanisms of clean production are thermodynamically revealed and a guiding theoretical framework for clean production is correspondingly proposed. The framework not only provides a theoretical foundation for clean production technologies, but also offers a possible quantitative way for the operation and assessment of clean production.
